The hormone Bovine Somatotropin (BST) is known for:
1. Increased milk production in dairy cows.
2. Increased meat production in cows.
3. Increased meat production in swine.
4. Its ability to kill weeds.
Two sides of DNA strands are held together by base pairs. Two bases that pair together
are:
1. guanine and adenine.
2. adenine and cytosine.
3. adenine and thymine.
4. thymine and guanine.
The tendency of female sheep to have twins is due to:
1. weather conditions.
2. the sequence of the bases between the DNA strands.
3. the age of the ram.
4. the desire of the mother to have twins.
Genetic engineering in animals is a newer process that:
1. is creating new clones daily.
2. is not as well developed yet as it is in plants.
3. has no hope for the future.
4. has techniques that are extremely well developed.
A potential benefit of cloning animals for production purposes could be:
1. to produce identical genotypes.
2. to produce uniform products such as chicken drumsticks.
3. for saving a species.
4. for research purposes.
Why is biotechnologically produced BST given in supplemental doses to dairy cows?
1. To increase muscle for meat.
2. To produce only female offspring.
3. To produce large calves.
4. To increase milk production.
