DNA
the genetic material in cells
What is DNA?
segments of DNA that relate to a certain trait
What are genes?
when some of the DNA is copied to a separate molecule
What is RNA?
makes copies of DNA from a crime scene
What does a forensic scientist do?
is the process of selecting and breeding organisms that have certain desired traits
What is artificial selection?
something you need to understand how DNA functions as a code
What is the structure of the DNA molecule?
pairs with thymine
What does adenine pair with
a cell organelle made of ribosomal RNA and protein
What is a ribosome?
breeds flowers for their bright red blooms
What does a botanist scientist do?
is the process in which a piece of DNA is modified for use in research, medicine, agriculture, or industry
What is genetic engineering?
a twisted ladder shape
What is the shape of DNA?
pairs with guanine
What does cytosine pair with?
is to carry messages
What is RNA's job?
works to place a human gene into the DNA of bacteria
What does a geneticist scientist do?
is an organism, cell, or piece of genetic material that is genetically identical to the one from which it was derived
What is a clone?
A nucleotide has a base, a sugar, and a phosphate.
What is a nucleotide made up of?
changes in the number, type, or order of bases on a piece of DNA
What are mutations?
stands for ribonucleic acid
What is another way to say RNA?
use and application of living things and biological processes
What is biotechnolgy?
used to make copies of small traces of DNA found at crime scenes or on ancient artifacts
What is a clone used for?
bases are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine
What are the four bases in DNA?
when the cell is able to make copies of DNA molecules
What is replication?
is to transfer messages
What is another job of RNA?
they are artificial selection, genetic engineering, and cloning
What are the three applications of biotechnology?
used to copy segments of DNA for genetic engineering
What is another thing cloning is used for?
