Using technology to manipulate the genetics of living organisms.
What is Biotechnology?
100
the replication process ending in identical cells.
What is mitosis?
100
A chart that traces a trait through generations.
What is a pedigree?
100
The body system that fights disease.
What is the immune system?
200
Where does transcription occur?
In the nucleus.
200
The method inserting a donor's DNA into an egg cell in order to make an identical organism.
What is cloning?
200
the replication process ending with four daughter cells. Needed for sexual reproduction.
What is meiosis?
200
A homozygous recessive genotype would be depicted by... (use the letter "x"
xx

On this chart- males are represented by square, females circles. All infected individuals are colored in.
What is a pedigree?
300
the process of matching mRNA codons to tRNA anticodons
What is translation?
300
What are genetically modified foods? Give an example of one.
Genetically modified foods are foods that have had their DNA altered in order to express desired traits. Usually to have better looking food, increase taste, increase nutrients, etc.
300
Replicate the following DNA Sequence.
AGT TAA GTG CCA CGC
TCG ATT CAC GGA GCG
300
a protein that can speed up reactions.
What are enzymes?
300
The practice of taking pictures of chromosomes during mitosis. Used to figure out if a baby will have a genetic disorder.
What is karyotyping?
400
a sequence of 3 base pairs.
What is a codon?
400
What is DNA fingerprinting?
The process of cutting and observing DNA in order to identify people.
400
Transcribe the following DNA sequence
ACT TAA AGA CCT ATA
UGA AUU UCU GGA UAU
400
What is the difference between a genetic disorder and an infectious disease?
an error during DNA replication where the chromosomes do not properly separate.
What is non disjunction?
500
Translate the follow strip of DNA into amino acids.
ATA-TAA-ACG-AGG-AAA-TTC-CGG-GCC
What is
TYR-ASN-CYS-ALA-PHE-ASN-ALA-ARG

In cloning, you must take the nucleus out of the egg cell (Cell not from animal being cloned). Explain why.
Because you need to insert the DNA from the Donor nucleus from the animal wished to be clones. You do not want the DNA of the animal carrying the clone
500
What would the anticodons be for the following sequence
AAU UCG CCG AAA AUA
UUA AGC GGC UUU UAU
500
when both genotypes are expressed. EX- a white flower crossed with a red flower gives you a pink flower
What is codominance?
500
type of inheritance where one allele is not dominant over the next. For example- Red cow x. white cow= cow with red and white (roan)
