Guide 4 Technologies Objectives
This guide’s quiz has four questions; one matching each objective.
Protein Synthesis
Explain what a gene is and how it relates to DNA structure; describe what occurs in the process of transcription, and translation; and provide examples of the functions proteins play in animals, including how structure relates to these functions.
Genomes
Provide examples of different forms of data about the natural world, including the types of information data can convey; discuss the techniques, benefits, and limitations of sampling from a larger population; and analyze different forms of population data including population distribution and population size.
Gene Editing
Match different forms of visualization with the information that is being conveyed; diagram the steps involved in cutting, copying, and moving pieces of DNA; and describe what gene editing is, where the process originated, and the impact of precise DNA manipulation.
GMOs
Describe the types of genetically modified organisms that have been produced, the techniques used, and rationales provide the characteristics of fish, including key structures used to distinguish fish from other living vertebrates; and describe the role of fish hatcheries in maintaining genetically modified fish as well as native species.
