Genetic Engineering

Question 1

Biotechnology

Answer 1

tech used to change the genetic make up of living things to make products
-ex. productions of antibiotics, vaccines, biofuels

Question 2

Genetic Engineering

Answer 2

direct manipulation of an organisms genome using biotechnology

Question 3

Recombinant DNA

Answer 3

artificially made DNA from 2 or more different sources
-can only occur when we know where genes are on specific chromosomes

Question 4

Genome

Answer 4

an organism’s complete set of DNA- all of its genes

Question 5

Gene map

Answer 5

shows the location of genes on a chromosomes

Question 6

Restriction Enzymes

Answer 6

used to cut strands of DNA at specific locations
-resulting fragments have 1 sticky end that joins with other fragments by DNA ligase
-used to create recombinant DNA

Question 7

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)

Answer 7

a technique that allows you to copy a piece of DNA without a cell
-AKA: DNA Amplification
-can make copies of a short DNA sequence in a test tube

Question 8

Gel Electrophoresis

Answer 8

lab method that uses and electric current to separate DNA fragments based on their molecular size

Question 9

Types Of Genetic Engineering

Answer 9

-Personal Genome Sequencing
-Gene Cloing
-Gene Therapy
-CRISPR
-Stem Cells
-Selective Breeding
-Inbreeding
-Hybridization
-Pharming
-Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
