Question 1

genetic code

Answer 1

a dictionary that identifies the correspondence btw a sequuence of nucleotides bases and a sequence of a.a

Question 2

codon

Answer 2

a seq of nucleotides that corresponds with a particular A.A or stop signal during protein synthesis

Question 3

wobble hypothesis

Answer 3

states that a codon-antocodon pairing follows the traditional watson-crick rules for the first 2 bases of the codon but is less stringent with the last base

Question 4

restriction fragment length polymorphism (rlpm)

Answer 4

polymorphic sites generated when specific DNA seq are recognized and cut by restriction enzyme

Question 5

PCR

Answer 5

test tube method for amplyfying a selected DNA seq that does not rely on the biologic cloning methods

Question 6

gene cloning

Answer 6

process where gene of interest is located and copied out of all the DNA extracted fr organism

Question 7

gene therapy

Answer 7

delivery of therapeutic DNA/RNA seq to treat genetic diseases conditions
