DNA
These are the names of the four bases of a DNA molecule.
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine
The machine that changes temperature to perform the PCR.
thermocycler
change in allele frequency due to chance or random events
genetic drift
Name two of the top 10 GMO foods
corn, soy, cottonseed, papaya, rice, rapeseed (conola), potatoes, tomatoes, dairy, peas
This object is used to create wells in the gel.
comb
The full set of genetic information in an individual.
genome
These are short, single stranded pieces of DNA that start the sequence of DNA that you want to copy.
primers
This is the name of the online database that is used to match DNA sequences to sequences stored in the database
BLAST - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool
Name two benefits of GMOs
pesticide resistance, herbicide resistance, drought tolerance, vetamin A, frost tolerance
A DNA fragment of 400 bases is higher or lower on the gel than a DNA fragment of 700 bases?
lower
Name an area of DNA that is not directly involved in coding for proteins.
introns, regulatory regions, RNA genes, non-coding genes (junk DNA), transposons and retrotransposons ("Jumping Genes")
The name of the stage where the two strands of DNA come apart.
These are two assumptions of Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium
random mating, large population size, no migration, no mutation, no natural selection
Name one disadvantage of GMOs
Monoculture, owned by big business. could cross pollinate, could have off target effects
This is added to the gel in order to visualize the DNA in a gel.
gel red
These are a sequence of bases that copy and past themselves around the genome.
retrotransposons
If a PCR cycle starts with 1 molecule and each cycle takes 5 minutes, you will have this many molecules of DNA after 30 minutes.
64
Change in genetic variation after a population moves to a new area
founder effect
The process of breeding organisms to increase the frequency of desired alleles.
artificial selection

karyotype
The name of the bacteria that provides the Taq Polymerase
Thermus aquaticus

p2 + 2pg + q2 = 1
The promotor sequence for most GMOs comes from this virus
cauliflower mosaic virus
