Traditional Biotechnology
This plant is believed to have been one of the first examples of modern bioengineering.
What is corn?
Cloning produces individuals that are genetically this.
What is identical?
DNA fingerprinting involves first doing this to DNA.
What is cutting it into fragments?
What is genetically modified organism?
The image produced by gel electrophoresis to help identify a suspect in a crime is known as this.
What is a DNA fingerprint?
This type of biotechnology involves breeding individuals that are genetically very similar. It often produces, however, genetic disorders.
What is inbreeding?
This type of organism is very easily cloned.
What are bacteria?
These substances are used to cut DNA.
What are restriction enzymes?
These types of plants and animals carry genes from other species.
What are transgenic organisms?
This technology uses 3D printing to living tissues and organs.
What is bioprinting?
This type of technology involves the breeding of organisms with different traits to create individuals with a blend of traits.
This animal was famously cloned in 1996. She was given the name Dolly.
What is a sheep?
Once DNA is cut into fragments, it is put into a gel that will separate the DNA bases on this property of the fragments.
What is their size?
These circular DNA molecules found in prokaryotes are used to produce many copies of a gene.
What are plasmids?
This type of biotechnology research involves the study of cells that can differentiate into any type of cell.
What is stem cell research?
This type of breeding produced a variety of dog breeds from a common wolf ancestor.
What is selective breeding?
Clones of these types of organisms were the first animals to have ever been cloned. They aren't reptiles, but some may say they may resemble them superficially.
What are salamanders?
DNA naturally has this charge.
What is a slight negative charge?
DNA produced from multiple sources is called this.
What is recombinant DNA?
Exposure to this can induce bacterial mutation rates.
What is radiation?
This plant is believed to be the ancestor of modern corn.
What is teosinte?
These four vertebrates have all been cloned.
What are the salamander, frog, rabbit, sheep, cow, goat, and mouse?
This technology uses a jello-like substance to compare the DNA of several different suspects in a crime. A DNA fingerprint, so to speak, is produced as the end result.
What is gel electrophoresis?
This process replicates a short section of DNA by repeatedly heating and cooling DNA fragments
What is PCR (polymerase chain reaction)?
This condition is when an organism (usually a plant) has more than two copies of its chromosome. It can mean the organism is larger than typical.
What is polyploidy?
