Genetic Engineering Flashcards
It utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products
Biotechnology
A technique scientist use to make exact genetic copies of living things.
Cloning
-Basic unit of heredity
-passed from parent to child
-made up of sequence of DNA and are arranged at specific locations of chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell.
Genes
-A plant, animal, microorganisms, or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering.
-This CREATES COMBINATIONS of plant, animals, bacterial, and virus genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional cross breeding
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
TRADITIONAL type of Genetic Engineering
Classical Breeding
It involves the use of molecular techniques to modify (change) the traits of a target organisms
Genetic Engineering
It is the modern technique of genetic engineering
Recombinant DNA technology (rDNA)
