20
Q

PCR stands for?

A

Polymerase Chain Reaction

21
Q

the joining of two different DNA molecules from different species resulting in recombined DNA molecules

A

Recombinant DNA Technology

22
Q

it utilizes Bacterial plasmids as a cloning vector, a DNA molecule that can carry foreign DNA into a host cell and replicate there.

A

Recombinant DNA Technology

23
Q

steps in recombinant technology

A

1)gene inserted into plasmid
2)plasmid put into the bacterial cell
3)the host cell is grown in culture to form a clone of cells containing the “cloned” gene of interest
4)basic research and various applications

24
Q

this are proteins that cut DNA at short, specific sequences called restriction sites

A

Restriction Enzyme

25
Q

What is being protected from the cell’s own restriction enzyme by the addition of methyl groups (CH3) to adenines or cytosines within the sequences recognized by the enzymes?

A

The DNA of a bacterial cell

26
Q

it is a type of restriction enzymes that recognize specific DNA sequences but makes their cut at seemingly RANDOM SITES that can be as far as 1,000 BASE PAIRS AWAY from recognition site

A

Type I

27
Q

It is a type of restriction enzyme that recognize and cut DIRECTLY within the recognition site

A

Type II

28
Q

it is a type of restriction enzymes that recognize specific sequences but makes their cut at a DIFFERENT SPECIFIC LOCATION that is usually within about 25 BASE PAIRS of the recognition sites

A

Type III

29
Q

Enumerate the process of Genetic Modification (9 items)

A
  1. identification of the gene interest;
  2. isolation of the gene of interest;
  3. amplifying the gene to produce many copies;
  4. associating the gene with an appropriate promoter and poly A sequence and insertion into plasmids;
  5. multiplying the plasmid in bacteria and recovering the cloned construct for injection;
  6. transference of the construct into the recipient tissue, usually fertilized eggs;
  7. integration of gene into recipient genome;
  8. the expression of the gene in the recipient genome; and
  9. inheritance of genes through further generations.
