2.7 Genetic Control of Metabolism Flashcards
1
Q
How can wild strains of micro-organisms be improved?
A
By mutagenesis, or recombinant DNA technology
2
Q
What results in mutations?
A
Exposure to UV light and other forms of radiation or mutagenic chemicals, some of these mutations may produce an improved strain of micro-organism
3
Q
What is involved in recombinant DNA technology?
A
The use of recombinant plasmids and artificial chromosomes as vectors
4
Q
What is a vector?
A
A DNA molecule used to carry forge in genetic information into another cell and both plasmids and artificial chromosomes are used as vectors during recombinant DNA technology
