genetic engineering Flashcards
1
Q
genetic engineering
A
artificial manipulation of genes
2
Q
isolation
A
removal of chromosome with target gene from human cell and plasmid dna from bacteria cell
3
Q
cutting
A
plasmid and human chromosomes cut into smaller sections
4
Q
tranformation
A
uptake of dna into a cell
5
Q
cloning
A
production of identical copies of the bacteria
6
Q
expression
A
formation of the product with the recombinant dna
7
Q
ligation
A
formation of dna strand by joining two sections of dna
8
Q
exampe for animals
A
sheep produce a protein that can treat emphysema so humans can genetically engineer a gene with their dna
