THIS & THAT
100
A DNA molecule that contains genetic material from more than one organism.
What is recombinant DNA
100
Theory that X chromosome inactivation equalizes gene expression between males and females.
What is dosage compensation
100
Process by which deliberate changes are introduced into an individuals genome.
What is genetic engineering
100
An organism's complete set of genetic material.
What is a genome
100
Cloning vectors can carry foreign DNA into
What are host cells
200
Collection of cells that host different fragments of foreign DNA, often representing an organism's entire genome.
What is DNA library
200
Shutdown of one of the two X chromosomes in the cells of female mammals.
What is X chromosome inactivation
200
Organism whose genome has been modified by genetic engineering.
What is a genetically modified organism (GMO)
200
The study of genomes.
What is Genomics
200
A fragment of chromosomal DNA and the plasmid base-pair have sticky ends. This joins the two pieces of DNA.
What is DNA ligase
300
A short, single strand of DNA designed to hybridize with a DNA fragment.
What is a primer
300
In chromosomal DNA, sequences of 4 or 5 bases repeated multiple times in a row.
What are short tandem repeats
300
Refers to a genetically modified organism that carries a gene from a different species.
What is transgenic
300
The idea of deliberate improving the genetic qualities of the human race.
What is eugenics
300
These are used to identify one clone that hosts a DNA fragment of interest among many other clones in a DNA library.
What are probes
400
A short fragment of DNA labeled with a tracer; designed to hybridize with a nucleotide sequence of interest.
What is a probe
400
Theory that X chromosome inactivation equalizes gene expression between males and females.
What is dosage compensation
400
Treating a genetic defect or disorder by transferring a normal or modified gene into the affected individual.
What is gene therapy
400
Transplantation of an organ from one species to another.
What is xenotransplantation
400
Small sequences of RNA nucleotides that bind to a target molecule.
What are riboswitches
500
DNA synthesized from an RNA template by the enzyme reverse transcriptase.
What is cDNA
500
Process by which a complex body forms from local processes during embryonic development.
What is pattern formation
500
Animals that would be impossible to produce by traditional breeding methods are being created by
What is genetic engineering
500
Researchers isolate one gene from the many other genes in a genome by
What is making DNA libraries or with PCR
500
Suppresses the activity of transposable elements, so its important for the stability of a cell's chromosomes.
