Biotechnology Flashcards
DNA bacteria from one bacteria transferred to another via virus
Transduction
Bacteria can take up DNA from surroundings and incorporate into genome
Transformation
Bacteria exchanging DNA via pilus
Conjugtion
Small circle of DNA separate from the cell’s chromosome. Usually in bacteria
Plasmid
Genetic material spliced from multiple sources
Recombinate DNA
Proteins that cut DNA at restriction sites
Restriction enzymes
Asexual reproduction
Cloning
Bacterial defense system against viruses
CRISPR
Adding healthy DNA to a person’s cells
Gene therapy
Used to create organs to test pharmaceuticals on
Stem cells
First cell divisions
Totipotent cells
Totipotent and pluripotent cells
Embryonic stem cells
Can produce a variety of one group cells
Multipotent
Non gamete cell
Somatic cell
Amplifies trace amounts od DNA
PCR
