INTRO TO BIOTECH
This field uses living organisms or biological systems to solve problems or make products.
biotechnology
DNA replication depends on complementary base pairing. What are they?
A pairs with T and C pairs with G
This microorganism has peptidoglycan in its cell wall.
Bacteria
This type of immunity develops after exposure to a specific pathogen.
Adaptive immunity
PCR is used to do this to DNA.
Amplify (make copies) DNA
Using bacteria to clean oil spills in the ocean is an example of this branch of biotechnology.
Marine Biotech (bioremediation)
Put these in order: DNA, Protein, RNA, Trait, Translation, Expression, Transcription
DNA →(transcription)→ RNA →(translation)→ Protein →(expression)→ Trait
This non-living particle must infect a host cell to reproduce.
Virus
Vaccines help the body prepare for future infections by stimulating this.
Adaptive immunity/memory cells
DNA must be purified before PCR to remove these.
Contaminants/impurities
This type of issue involves selling a patented gene-editing tool without permission.
Legal issue
This molecule carries instructions from DNA to the ribosome.
RNA/mRNA
This microbiology technique separates Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Antibiotics work against these organisms.
Bacteria
This instrument measures DNA concentration at 260 nm.
Spectrophotometer
This CER component explains why the evidence supports the claim.
Reasoning
This is where proteins get made
Ribosomes
Why do scientists isolate bacteria?
To study one specific type of bacteria (pure culture)
Antibiotics do NOT work against these pathogens.
Name one major piece of equipment used during PCR.
Thermocycler
Science is described as tentative because scientific explanations can do this.
change with new evidence
Muscle cells and nerve cells have the same DNA but different functions because of this.
different genes get expressed
This lab method helps prevent contamination while working with bacteria.
Aseptic technique
This happens when bacteria survive antibiotics and pass resistance genes to offspring.
Antibiotic Resistance
Put these DNA extraction steps in order: lyse cells, isolate DNA, collect sample, collect pure DNA
collect sample → lyse cells → isolate DNA → collect pure DNA
