17
Q

Totipotent

A

Embryo, form any kind of cell

18
Q

Electrophoresis

A

Process where electricilly charged partials are pulled through gel.

19
Q

Restriction enzyme

A

Molecular “scissors” cuts DNA into fragments by recognizing specific sequences

20
Q

Bioinformatics

A

Science of gathering information

21
Q

RFLP. Restricted fragment length polymorphism

A

DNA pieces cut by same enzyme but end up at different lengths

22
Q

Southern blot

A

For DNA fingerprint

23
Q

Northern blot

A

Used for RNA

24
DNA extraction
Removing DNA molecule from nucleus
25
PCR Polymers chain reaction
Clones DNA sequences for more study
26
Nondisjunction
Homologous chromosomes failed to separate
27
Polyploid
Have more then one set of chromosomes. 3 instead of 2
28
Deletion
Piece of chromosome is lost
29
Mutation
Change in organisms genetic material
30
Duplication
2 copies of part of a chromosomes
31
Missense
Mutation resulting in a amino acid change
32
Silent
Codon change causes no change in protein.
33
Frameshift
Caused by insertion or deletion
34
Nonsense
Codon becomes stop instead of a amino acid
35
Duplication
Portion of chromosomes remain attached,leaving 1 chromosome with both traits
36
Translocation
Gene brakes away from chromosome and becomes attached to a different one
37
Inversion
Chromosome pieces rearrange their order
38
Karyotype
Picture of chromosomes arranged by size
