Which of the following is an example of genetic engineering?
O a) Creating a mouse with a knock-out (deletion) of a disease gene.
O b) Creating a strain of yeast that has the human insulin gene added.
O c) Both of these are examples of genetic engineering.
Od) Neither of these are examples of genetic engineering because they use
existing genes.
The field of genetics that studies how gene expression can be affected by signals from the environment is called:
A) genomics
B) epigenetics
C) environmental genetics
D) proteomics
How can genomics be used to predict disease risk and treatment options?
