100
This can be used to cut DNA into smaller pieces
What are restriction enzymes?
100
This type of cut allows fragments to stick together more efficiently
What is a sticky end?
100
A DNA molecule produced by combining DNA from different sources is known as
What is recombinant DNA
100
This is used to locate a gene.
What is a DNA probe?
100
This technique is used to make transgenic organisms.
What is genetic engineering?
200
In gel electrophoresis, the segment that will move the fastest is
What is the shortest (fewest base pairs)
200
This is the role of restriction enzymes in studying the human genome
What is cut large DNA into smaller pieces?
200
the process of making changes in the DNA code of a living organism is called
What is genetic engineering
200
In DNA fingerprinting, the DNA probe that is used is related to the DNA sequence by this
What is it's complementary?
200
This is an advantage of using transgenic bacteria to produce human proteins
What is transgenic bacteria can produce human proteins in large quantities?
300
In this technique DNA is heated to separate the strand, then primers are added. DNA polymerase then builds new strands in the region between the primers.
What is the polymerase chain reaction? PCR
300
The enzyme that joins two pieces of DNA together
What is DNA ligase?
300
These are used because they can be used to transform bacteria.
What is a plasmid?
300
If Dolly and her donor were compared their DNA would be
What is identical
300
To produce human insulin this is what needs to be done first.
What is cut out insulin from human DNA
400
Since no two people except identical twins have the same DNA, this technique can be used to differentiate amongst people.
What is DNA fingerprinting?
400
In cloning, which animals are genetically identical
What is the clone and the donor nucleus?
400
If a recombinant plasmid is made that contains a gene that makes it resistant to penicillin, what will happen to it if it is exposed to penicillin
What is it will live?
400
DNA fingerprinting has drastically changed this field as it provides crime scene evidence.
What is forensics
400
The study of whole genomes including genes and their functions is called this
What is genomics/
500
The process of this replaces a faulty gene with a normal working gene.
What is gene therapy?
500
In gel electrophoresis, this is why the samples move toward the positive end of the gel
What is DNA is negatively charged?
500
This is the difference between Dolly and organisms produced by sexual reproduction.
What is Dolly's DNA is taken from a single individual
500
A person with this blood type can receive any type of blood.
What is AB?
500
After many generations of this, individual dogs of the same breed are likely to be genetically similar
What is inbreeding?
