Applied Genetics
What is inbreeding?
Organisms with desired traits
What is used to cut DNA into smaller pieces?
What is PCR (polymerase chain reaction)?
The goal of this is to determine the sequence of all the nucleotides of human DNA
What is the Human Genome Project?
What is inbreeding used for?
Producing purebred animals
a. a mosquito being given specific chemicals for a given trait to show
b. a polo horse having genes taken to make other horses exactly like him
The process which separates DNA fragments by size
What is gel electrophoresis?
This process occurs to determine one continuous human genome sequence
What is cleaving?
What is one advantage and one disadvantage of hybridization?
Advantage: disease-resistant plants
Disadvantage: expensive
What is genetic engineering?
What is cloning?
Variations when one nucleotide in the genome is altered
What is Single Nucleotide Polymorphism?
The method for determining the genotype of an organism
What is genetic engineering?
What are restriction enzymes?
This determines the DNA sequences unique to each individual
What is DNA fingerprinting?
What is one disadvantage of inbreeding?
Harmful recessive traits
What is PCR?
This technique copies a specific region of DNA
What is PCR
What is Escheria Coli?
