True or False: An epigenetic mark causes a mistake/mutation in the RNA
What is False?
100
Measures small amounts of liquid in the lab. Comes in different varieties -- example: 2-20 microliters
What is a micropipette?
100
Known as molecular scissors. Found in bacteria and used to cut DNA

200
Used to spin tubes and separate solids from liquids
What is centrifuge?
200
TRUE OR FALSE: All the different types of restriction enzymes always cut at the same place on the DNA.
What is FALSE?
200
Can be used to ID a person at a molecular level. No two are the same. Produced by gel electrophoresis.
What is a DNA fingerprint?

300
True or False: Epigenetic markers cause changes in histone/dna coiling
What is TRUE?
300
A machine that heats and cools samples placed within it. Is mostly used for constant copying of DNA

400
Used to separate different sized strands of DNA

Differentiation is....
What is the maturing of cells into their specific form and function. (ex: stem cells into muscles cells)
500
TRUE or FALSE: Most likely, epigenetic DNA tags are identical in identical twins at the time of their death.
What is FALSE?
500
This holds extremely small abouts of liquid. It can be placed in a centrifuge or PCR machine easily.
What is a PCR tube?
500
It is used to show the lengths of DNA fragments between restriction sites in a strand of DNA. Used as comparison after electrophoresis.
What is a restriction map?
500
