Genetics
The observable characteristics of a organism. It is the result of the expression of the genetic constitution and the environment.
What is a phenotype
Animal that was successfully cloned in a research facility in Scotland in 1996 from an adult stem cell
Who is Dolly the sheep
The use of transgenic farm animals to produce pharmaceuticals.
What is Pharming
Chromosomes pairing XX in a human
What is a Female
The most common animal in a biotechnology research lab
what is Mice
An organism that has two identical alleles for a particular trait
What is Homozygous
Involves putting the embryo into the uterus of a surrogate female
What is Reproductive cloning
Examining properties that can be described as one-billionth
What is Nanoparticles
Plants possible having several different colors
What is Incomplete dominance
Animal rights group that stages controversial public demonstrations with activists dressed in attention-getting suits
PETA
An organism that has two different alleles for a particular trait
Heterozygous
Individuals produced with identical or virtually identical DNA.
What is a Clone
Involves creating and manipulating materials at the nano scale
What is Nanobiotechnology
Scientists chart the position of known genes and other markers relative to each other
What is Genetic mapping
Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells
What is Stomatic stem cells
Consists of two letters that represent a gene’s allele pair that results in a phenotype.
What is Genotype
The so-called starter cells that can turn into any sort of body tissue, from brain to blood to bone
What is Embryonic stem cells
Allows farmers to save time, produce larger quantities, and better quality items.
What is GMO's
Stem cells that are most often used to avoid rejection by the patient's immune system
What is Adult stem cells
Scientists are able to use an organ from another species for transplantation
What is a Xenograft
When both alleles contribute to the phenotype
What is Co-dominance
The procedure used to produce embryonic stem cells that theoretically may be used to treat a number of diseases
What is Therapeutic cloning
Taking and isolating a cell to see how they build, rebuild, and to get a deeper understanding of a specific problem.
What is Knockout
The approval process that biomedical researchers seek when they create a transgenic animal
What is a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
Scientists implant genetic information from one species into another to create a customized strain for research
What is Transgenic animal
