biotechnology Flashcards
biotechnology
manipulation of living organisms using genetic engineering to make desired products
recombinant dna technology
combining strands of dna by molecular cloning
recombinant dna
creating new sequences
rdna is called chimera
molecular cloning
fragment of dna from donor to plasmid that replicate in host
plasmid
double stranded dna
circular
plasmid is also known as vectors
steps of cloning
1selection of host organism and cloning vector
2prep of vector dna
3prep of dna to be cloned
last 4 steps of cloning
4construct recombinant dna
5introduce recombinant dna into host organism
6selection of organism
7screening for clones
cloning vector
a genome which accept the target dna and through replicate
molecular cloning
- **carried in vitro
- **fragment from donor to vector
- **into plasmid
- ***replicates in host cell
plasmids are
with double stranded dna
found inside bacterial species
also known as vectors
types of vectors
plasmid bacteriophage cosmid YAC BAC
