DNA
DNA is composed of these individual building blocks
What are nucleotides?
This enzyme adds nucleotides in DNA replication
What is DNA polymerase?
This process creates identical copies of living organisms or sections of DNA.
What is cloning?
These regions of DNA code for proteins.
What are exons?
Process that creates two identical strands during the cell cycle
What is DNA replication?
This enzyme transcribes DNA to RNA
What is RNA polymerase?
This process cuts DNA into smaller pieces.
What is restriction digest?
This section of DNA codes for 1 protein.
What is a gene?
What does PCR stand for?
What is polymerase chain reaction?
The regions of DNA that do NOT code for protein
What are introns?
This enzyme unzips/unwinds DNA during DNA replication.
These types of organisms have incorporated DNA from different species.
What are transgenic organisms?
This 3 base DNA sequence is the first that undergoes transcription.
What is the start codon?
This type of tool is used to transfer extremely small amounts of liquid.
What is a micropipette?
Terminator sequence that causes RNA polymerase to stop its activity
What is a stop codon?
This enzyme cuts DNA at specific sequences.
What is a restriction enzyme?
This technique rapidly creates many copies of small sections of DNA.
What is PCR?
These small sections of RNA can regulate protein synthesis.
What are micro RNAs?
What is a genetic engineering tool commonly used to modify DNA?
What is CRIPR?
These short single stranded RNA molecules are the starting points for DNA synthesis.
What are primers?
This enzyme links different nucleotides together.
What is DNA ligase?
This process separates DNA fragments by size.
What is gel electrophoresis?
This sequence is added to the end of an RNA strand.
What is a poly-A tail?
These circular pieces of DNA can replicate independently of chromosomes.
What are plasmids?
