Individual that receives recombinant DNA

Answer 3

Transgenic Organism

Question 4

Small circle of double-stranded DNA separate from the cell’s chromosome

Answer 4

Question 5

Proteins that cut double stranded DNA at a specific base sequence

Answer 5

Restriction Enzyme

Question 6

These bacteria enter the plant at a wound to inject plasmid into the host’s cells. A tool for plants for introducing new genes

Answer 6

Agrobacterium Tumefaciens

Question 7

It is a milk-curdling enzyme produced by transgenic yeast cells

Answer 7

Chymosin

Question 8

Any undifferentiated cell that can give rise to specialized cells

Answer 8

Stem Cell

Question 9

Give rise to all cell types in the body and are totipotent

Answer 9

Embryonic Stem Cells

Question 10

More differentiated and produce a limited subset of cells and are pluripotent

Answer 10

Adult Stem Cells

Question 11

He and his colleagues used a new procedure to produce Dolly the sheep, the first clone of an adult mammal

Answer 11

Ian Wilmut (1996)

Question 12

It is any cell that makes up an animal’s body, other than stem cells or gamete-forming cells

Answer 12

Somatic Cell

Question 13

Cloning technique using a nucleus from a DNA donor’s somatic cell to an egg which would develop into a clone of the original donor

Answer 13

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer

Question 14

It is where cloned human embryos as a source of stem cells are used to grow artificial organs that an immune system would not reject

Answer 14

Therapeutic Cloning

Question 15

Single-stranded sequence of nucleotides that is used to detect a complementary DNA sequence

Answer 15

DNA Probe

Question 16

Greatly reduce the odds of having an affected child by screening embryos for the disease-causing allele

Answer 16

Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

Question 17

Instead of searching the DNA from an embryonic cell, tests could detect the alleles in DNA from cells taken from tissues, blood, or salive

Answer 17

Genetic Testing

Question 18

May provide new treatment options by adding healthy DNA to a person’s cells

Answer 18

Gene Therapy

Question 19

He received a massive infusion of viruses carrying a gene to correct an inborn error of metabolism but died from an overwhelming immune system reaction
