    1. The document provides information about genetic engineering including a concept map listing pros and cons. It also contains multiple choice and short answer questions about genetic engineering techniques and GMOs. 2. Testing food samples for specific marker genes from engineered plasmids can detect if GMOs were used. Pesticide use has decreased due to GM crops which provide insect resistance, reducing the need for insecticides. 3. The author agrees with genetic engineering and GMOs if it helps the environment, human development, and does not harm natural resources or other species.

    Assessment
    Multiple Choice. Choose the letter of the best answer. Write your answer in a separate sheet
    of paper.

    1. It involves mating two members of a species (plant, yeast, or animal), each of whom
    possesses one or more different and desirable traits in order to create a hybrid
    individual possessing both traits.

    A. Classical Breeding
    B. Genetic Cloning
    C. Recombinant DNA Technology
    D. Electroporation

    2. What is the expansion of the membrane pores that is done through an electric “shock”?

    A. Electroporation
    B. Biolistics
    C. Selection of plasmid DNA containing cells
    D. Selection of transformed cells with the desired gene

    3. This technique is used to fire DNA-coated pellets on plant tissues.

    A. Electroporation
    B. Biolistics
    C. Selection of plasmid DNA containing cells
    D. Selection of transformed cells with the desired gene

    4. It is a technique in which target cells are pre-treated before the procedure to increase
    the pore sizes of their plasma membranes.

    A. Electroporation
    B. Biolistics
    C. Heat Shock Treatment
    D. Genetic Cloning

    5. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) is the ability to insert gene sequences, comes
    the possibility of providing new traits for these target organisms. Which of the following
    examples does not belong to the group?
    A. Insulin
    B. Flavr-Savr
    C. Bt-Corn
    D. Genetic Disease

    Answer the following question briefly.

    1. Which of the techniques discussed can be used to detect if GMOs were used in a certain
    food product?
    Assuming that the DNA is still intact in the sample, testing for specific
    marker genes in expression plasmids can be used to detect the presence of these
    engineered plasmids.

    2. What has been the impact of GM crops on pesticide use?


    Pesticide use has decreased due to GM crops: Worldwide reduction in
    insecticide use (bug spray) due to GM crops, from 1996 to 2014: Bt (insect
    resistant) corn provided a 52% reduction amounting to 11.15 million lb. less
    active ingredient used on U.S. corn. Bt (insect resistant) cotton provided a 28%
    reduction amounting to 6.16 and 12.36 million lb. less active ingredient in U.S.
    and China cotton, respectively. (Brookes and Barfoot, 2016). There is also a
    reduced need for insecticide sprays on nearby non-Bt fields because of the
    reduction in pests on GM planted fields.

    3. Do you agree or disagree with genetic engineering and GMO? Support your idea/s.
    Yes I agree with genetic engineering and GMO if and only if it helps our
    environment, helps the evolution and development of humankind, and that no
    natural resources are being wasted and no other species being harmed in the
    process of doing so.
