Biotechnology
The use of DNA technology and modern laboratory techniques for studying and manipulating genetic material.
What is biotechnology?
Desired and is a birth of an individual exactly like the original; plant cloning routing
What is reproductive cloning?
Is the study of complete sets of genes (genomes)
What is Genomics?
When potential parents are advised on their risk of inherited disorders
What is genetic counseling
Gene therapy taking place outside of the body
What is Ex Vivo ?
Organisms that have acquitted one or more genes by artificial means
What is Genetically modified
Creating a cloned embryo for the sole purpose of producing embryonic stem cells with the same DNA as the donor cell.
This explores structure and function of cellular proteins and how they interact to produce traits – important in drug development
What is proteomics?
Visual display of chromosomes arranged by size, shape, and banding pattern
What is Karyotyping ?
Gene therapy taking place inside of the body
What is in Vivo ?
If the newly acquired gene is from another organism typically of another species it’s a recombinant organism
What is a transgenic organism ?
Is illegal and very dangerous to use.
What is human cloning?
This is the application of computational methods to the storage and analysis of biological data.
What is bioinformatics?
Relies on an abnormality in the DNA sequence due to presence of abnormal allele
What is a Genetic Marker?
Intention to treat disease by introducing genes into an afflicted person
What is Human Gene Therapy?
Is used to carry the foreign DNA and may be a plasmid from bacteria
What is a vector?
Are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body.
What are stem cells?
Process of making changes in the DNA code of living organisms
What is genetic engineering?
Small silicone chip which is compared to DNA of a person to indicate risk of developing disease
What is a DNA Microarray?
High levels of cholesterol leading to early fatal heart attacks
What is Hypercholesterolemia?
DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources.
What is recombinant DNA?
Because no embryonic tissue is
involved in their harvest, these type of stem
cells are less ethically problematic than
ES cells.
What are adult stem cells?
This is an organism's complete set of proteins.
What is proteome ?
The principle of complementary base pairing to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of a DNA molecule.
What is DNA Sequencing?
Condition when Immune system destroys person's own body
What is Rheumatiod Arthritis?
