Course: Veterinary Science II (18105-II) > Section: Exploring Emerging Technologies in Veterinary Sciences

Explanation should include

- definition of biotechnology
- biotechnology techniques used (e.g., embryo transfer, stem cell therapy, recombinant vaccines)
- genomics
- how advances in biotechnology have impacted animal health (e.g., identification of disease-causing genes, tests to determine whether an animal is genetically predisposed to a disease).

Process/Skill Questions:

- Who is working on the Dog Genome Project?
- What breeds and traits have been studied in the Dog Genome Project?
- Why do the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club want breeders to use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing?
