making something with exact copy of DNA
cloning
bacteria DNA
plasmid
matching DNA with a person or relative

genetic engineering
a mix of two different species
hybrid
attaching DNA piece to another strand of DNA
transformation
every gene in an entire species
genome
comparing the active and inactive genes of two cells

field of science that stores, organizes, analyses and sequences genetic information
bioinformatics
continuing to breed organisms that are similar to each other, leads to more recessive genetic defects
inbreeding
used to cut DNA into pieces
restriction enzyme
when a single nucleotide letter is off
single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
correcting mutated genes in a patient by replacing it with a working gene
