How small is a gene?
So small you can only see it with special machines As big as a football As big as a house As big as a car
Can scientists make plants that grow faster?
Yes, by changing genes that control growth No, plants have their own pace Only by encouraging them Only by playing classical music
What is a laboratory?

They can change plants so they grow better They can teach plants to talk They can teach plants to dance They can turn plants into robots
Where do scientists store genes?
In special refrigerators in the lab In their bags In the garden In a box under their bed

What is insulin?
A hormone that regulates sugar in the blood A vitamin for strong bones A protein for muscle growth A mineral for the blood
What trait can GM plants acquire to better tolerate cold?
Vorstresistance Warm colours Thicker leaves More flowers
Which GM trait helps farmers use less pesticides?
Insect resistance Faster growth Nicer colours Better taste
What trait can GM plants acquire to grow better in arid areas?
Drought resistance More flowers Odour production Faster growth

What do we call the 'building blocks' of heredity?
Genes Atoms Molecules Cells
Create a genetic modification treasure hunt for Ages 11-12
What is a key benefit of genetic modification in agriculture?
Reduced use of pesticides Crops always grow faster All crops get bigger Crops always have better taste
What is the function of selectable markers in genetic modification?
They help identify which cells have been successfully modified They make the modified cells larger They change the colour of cells They make the cells faster
What trait do many GM soybeans have?
Resistance to Roundup weed killer They grow underwater They have a blue colour They are toxic to humans
What role do stem cells play in genetic modification?
They can be modified and grow into complete organisms They automatically produce new genes They destroy faulty genes They make genetic modification impossible

Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats Complex Repeated Integrated Systematic Protein Research Cellular Regulation In Specialized Protein Reactions Controlled Replication In Selected Plant Regions
What is RNA interference (RNAi)?
A method to turn off gene expression A way to repair DNA A technique to clone cells A process to fold proteins
What is the purpose of pharmaceutical genetic modification?
Producing drugs in organisms Making organisms bigger Improving taste of food Accelerating plant growth

What trait has Bt maize gained through genetic modification?
Production of an insecticide protein Increased vitamin C production Resistance to frost Faster growth
What does the term 'transgenic organism' mean?
An organism containing DNA from another species An organism resistant to antibiotics An organism that has been artificially cloned An organism that has genetic defects
What is a transgenic organism?
An organism containing genes from other species An organism containing only its own genes An organism without DNA An organism that cannot make proteins
What is the advantage of Bt cotton?

Which enzyme is essential for making complementary DNA (cDNA) from mRNA?
Reverse transcriptase DNA polymerase RNA polymerase DNA ligase
What is the main advantage of using Agrobacterium tumefaciens in plant genetics?
It can introduce natural DNA into plant cells via Ti plasmids It automatically produces herbicide resistance It prevents mutations during DNA transfer It can only infect dicotyledonous plants
