What is the production of duplicate or multiple versions of a gene
Gene Cloning
A double-stranded DNA molecule that is made in vitro by using mRNA as a template along with the help of the enzyme reverse transcriptase
Complementary DNA or cDNA
An unspecialized cell that can reproduce indefinitely, when under the right conditions, and change its cell type into a different specialized one
Stem Cell
Genetic markers used to compare allele repeats at loci of DNA samples
Short Tandem Repeat or STR
What is the product of the polymerase chain reaction or PCR
The Doubling of Specific DNA Sequences
This study was a large project in which many people with a certain phenotype or disease were analyzed to find the genetic markers that cause such changes
The Genome-Wide Association Studies
Any cell with the potential to dedifferentiate can then give rise to new specialized cell types
The introduction of genes into an individual that has been afflicted for therapeutic purposes. This technique though is highly controversial and there are debates of its ethicality.
Gene Therapy
This type of end is cut by restriction enzymes to make a staggering cut. This end is easier for DNA molecules to attach to compared to ends that are a straight cut
Sticky Ends
What is the purpose of RNAi
To Silence The Expression of Specific Genes
This was the first mammal to be cloned in the world on July 5, 1996
Sheep (Dolly)
Mass protein production in pharmaceuticals is commonly synthesized on large scale on what.
Cell Cultures
This is formed by inserting a specific sequence of DNA, usually a plasmid, into a different DNA sequence
Recombinant DNA
This is a genetic marker for alleles that have been associated with a specific condition
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or SNPs
A cell that can give rise to most parts of an organism but not all
Pluripotent
An organism acquired by artificial means from a variety of genes from one or multiple different species
GM Organism or Genetically Modified Organism
What group of techniques have been recently developed in which they do not rely on chain termination
Next-Generation Sequencing
What can researchers search in a sample using the help of In situ hybridization and RT-PCR
A Given mRNA
The question of whether all cells in the organism have the same genome led to the first attempts of what
Organismal Cloning
The analysis of STRs can be used to create this. One of use of the creation from the analysis of STR can be used as strong evidence proving innocence or guilt
