Week 2- Genetic Engineering Flashcards
It is called the central dogma of molecular biology
DNA → RNA → Protein
It comes from existing DNA to make new DNA
Replication
From DNA to make new RNA
Transcription
From RNA to make new proteins
Translation
In bacterial cells, it lacks a NUCLEUS, but _____ is produced by transcription that is immediately translated without additional processing.
(clue: type of single-stranded RNA involved in protein synthesis)
mRNA
In eukaryotic cells, wherein the nucleus provides a separate compartment for transcription. An original RNA transcript, called ____, is processed in various ways before leaving the nucleus as mRNA
(The first (primary) transcript from a protein-coding gene)
pre-mRNA
the primary transcript which contains both coding and non-coding sequences
pre-mRNA
mature messenger RNA which contains only the coding sequence of a gene
mRNA
It is referred to as the direct manipulation of DNA to alter an organism’s characteristics (phenotypes) in a particular way
Genetic Engineering
used by scientists to enhance or modify the characteristics of an individual organism.
Genetic Engineering
A process is done to manipulate the genome of an organism in order to produce desired traits
Genetic Manipulation
Three Certain Manipulations are included
Altering/Changing one base pair;
Deleting a sequence of DNA;
Introducing an additional copy of a gene. (Recombinant DNA)
Three Genetic Engineering Procedures
DNA Sequencing
DNA Cloning/ Gene Cloning
Gene Editing
a process of genetic engineering procedures that exploits the principle of complementary base pairing of DNA to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule.
DNA Sequencing
a process of genetic engineering procedures that prepares well-defined segments of DNA in multiple identical copies of a specific gene. (Use of Bacterial Plasmids and turning them into Recombinant DNA molecules).
