Biotechnology Flashcards
What is the use of technology to enhance living organisms and their processes
Biotechnology
What are genetically identical organisms
Clone
What is a single celled organism, like bacteria, cross genes theough these, small circular DNA molecule like chromosomes
Plasmid
What is an organism that contains genes that were placed under it from another organism
Transgenic
What can be used to cut DNA strands into smaller pieces
Restriction Enzeyme
What is taking a desired piece if DNA and combining it with the original strand to customize it
Recombinant DNA
Uses a vector to deliver recombinant DNA to a cell
Gene therapy
A reaction tgat is able to copy millions of genes within hours
Polymerase Chain Reaction
Uses gel currents to sequence DNA fragments in a gel substance
Gel electrophoresis
Can become some types of cells
