Answer:
Genetic Engineering: the direct manipulation of an organisms genes using biotechnology (ex. genetically engineering corn to be insect resistant)
Cloning: The process of producing genetically identical individuals of an organism either natually or artificially,cloning allows for the creation of multiple copies of genes, expression of genes, and study of specific genes (ex. Cloning cells for untreatable diseases)
Artificial Selection: Also known as Selective breeding it is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits/ characteristics (ex. Dog breeding)
Answer:
Genetic Engineering :
Benefits
-Ability to create food that is resistant to pests, cold, and disease
-Greater food production volume and increased vitamins
Risks
-Concerns about long-term health risks
-Lack of regulation
Cloning
Benefits
-Ability to increase endangered animal populations
-Possibility of eliminating diseases and defective genes
Risks
-Shorter lifespan for cloned animals
-Greater chance of health issues for cloned animals
Artificial Selection
Benefits
-Allows for selection of desired traits
-Ability to create better versions of organisms
Risks
-Loss of genetic diversity
-Increased chance of diseases that can shorten lifespan
Explanation:
This is straight from the lesson 6.01 page 5 (FLVS)
