Question 1

what is genetic engineering?

Answer 1

developing procdures for isolation and manipluation of genetic material

Question 2

what is an example of genetic engineering?

Answer 2

insulin production

Question 3

what is molecular cloning?

Answer 3

it is the isolation and purification of a single vector

turns a plasmid into a closing vector

Question 4

why are plasmids good for cloning?

Answer 4

smaller, circular, stable, independent orgin, multiple copy number

Question 5

what is a good host for a cloning vector?

Answer 5

rapid growth, not harmful, stable in culture, can grow in inexpensive medium, have right enzymes to allow for replication, can take up DNA

Question 6

what are 8 ways to genetic engineer?

Answer 6

1. microbial fermentation
2. virus vaccines
3. mammaliam protiens
4. transgenic plants and animals
5. environmental biotechnology
6. gene regulation and gene therapy
7. bleaching
8. soil recovery

Question 7

what is in the production of inulin?

Answer 7

polypeptides a and B by disulfide bridges

Question 8

what does pseudomonas syringe do?

Answer 8

makes biofilm and grows very readily and some forms are ice plus and have a ice nucleating protein which super cools

Question 9

what is ice nucleation?

Answer 9

it is damage to the membrane water is supercooled to act has a catalyst
=less frost damage

Question 10

recovery of metals?

Answer 10

is used for low grade copper and uranium ores

this process can be recycled

Question 11

anaerobic prokaryotes

Answer 11

re oxidize NADH by respiration or fermentation
