chapter 10 Flashcards
genetic engineering
manipulating genes for practical purposes
gene cloning
production making identical copies of gene-carrying piece of DNA
recombinant dna is formed by
joining dna sequences from two different sources
read steps in cloning gene
powerpoint
how is gene therapy help treat diseases
it supplies a functional allele
challenges of gene therapy
safe delivery to the area of the body affected
achieving a long-lasting therapeutic effect
ethical problems
what does gm stand for
genetically modified
what does it mean if an organism is genetically modified?
it has one or more genes that are artificial
transgenic organism
organisms that has at least one gene from another species
dna profiling
figuring out if DNA fragments came from a particular individual
short tandem repeats (STRs)
genetic markers used in DNA profiling
str analysis compares
the lengths of STR sequences
str are the lines and could be used for
foresnic science
