Unit 11 Flashcards
Human genome project
Identify DNA sequence that makes up human genetic material. 25,000 genes. Humans don’t use most of them
DNA finger print
Made from DNA that is cut and tagged. ( can be used to id people). Every persons is different
Microarray
Picture small dots. Shows what genes will show or not
Human genome
Contains about 25,000 genes
Genomics
Study of genomes
Genome
Genetic material, in everything
Gene therapy
Engendered virus to fix gene
Genetic counseling
Informs people about possible genetic diseases for their children
Genomic mapping
Find relative position of genes on chromosome or (genome)
Genetic engineering
Deliberately manipulating an organisms genes
GMO
Organism with recombinant genes
Stem cells
Cells continuously divid and differentiating quickly.
Clone
Making identical copies of an organism
Recombinant DNA
A strand of DNA formed by combing DNA from two different sources
Genetic imprinting
Genomes switch (turn on and off)
Multipointent
From adults, only specific type of tissues
Pluripotent
From fetus, everything except gamatic sex cells
Totipotent
Embryo, form any kind of cell
Electrophoresis
Process where electricilly charged partials are pulled through gel.
Restriction enzyme
Molecular “scissors” cuts DNA into fragments by recognizing specific sequences
Bioinformatics
Science of gathering information
RFLP. Restricted fragment length polymorphism
DNA pieces cut by same enzyme but end up at different lengths
Southern blot
For DNA fingerprint
Northern blot
Used for RNA
