Question

question 6 (3 points)
a new and rapidly growing form of genetic engineering that enables to make new sequences of dna and use such genetic information to design and create artificial cells, tissues, organs, organisms, etc., not found in the nature is called........
a) synthetic biology.
b) artificial selection.
c) ecological footprint.
d) all of the above.

Explanation:

• Synthetic biology: It involves creating new DNA sequences and artificial biological entities (cells, tissues, etc.) not found in nature, which matches the description in the question.
• Artificial selection: This is about selecting traits in existing organisms (like breeding dogs for specific traits), not creating new DNA sequences and novel biological structures as described.
• Ecological footprint: It measures the impact of human activities on the environment (resource use, waste generation), not related to genetic engineering of the type described.
• Since only synthetic biology fits the description, "all of the above" (option d) is incorrect.

Answer:

A. synthetic biology.
