2nd Sem 3rd Quarter Flashcards
Genetic engineering is also known as?
Genetic modification
What is genetic engineering?
It is the change of genes of living organisms
What is the first genetic modified?
Bacterium (1973)
It is the plasmids or viruses
Vector
What is plasmid?
It is the circular piece of DNA
Enumerate:
The host cell now contains recombinant DNA
DNA carrying a gene of interest is taken from a living organism cell
The host cell multiplies
The gene is inserted into the DNA of another cell
The desired protein is produced

GMO stands for?
Genetically Modified Organisms
What is genetics?
It is the study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring
Who is the father of genetics?
Gregor Mendel
What is the principle proposed by Gregor Mendel?
Principle of independent assortment
Traits are determined by?
genes on chromosomes
What is gene?
It is a segment of DNA that determines a trait
Chromosomes come in?
Homologous pairs
What is homologous pairs?
a matching genes
What is alleles?
different genes for same trait
What is dominant gene?
prevents the other from showing
what is recessive gene?
does not show even tho it’s present
homozygous is also know as?
purebred
heterozygous is also known as
hybrid
Combination of genes an organism has (actual gene make-up)
genotype
Physical appearance resulting from gene make-up
phenotype
1 allele is not completely dominant over another (they blend)
Incomplete dominance
Both alleles are expressed
codominance
