What are the two types of selective breeding?
inbreeding and hybridization
100
Two things used to induce mutations
chemicals and radiation (mutagens)
100
Define Genetic Engineering
Engineering Genes or DNA directly
100
Cuts DNA into fragments
Restriciton Enzymes
100
Recombinant DNA is produced from the process of _____________________ to create a transgenic organism
Gene Splicing
200
type of selective breeding that can lead to mental retardation
inbreeding
200
Breeders induce mutations in a population in order to...
increase diversity
200
Used to create an identical replica of an existing organism
cloning
200
Uses a charge to separate DNA
Gel Electrophoresis
200
What enzyme is used to help with PCR
DNA Polymerase
300
Why is selective breeding used
to pass desired traits or characteristics on to offspring
300
Ultimate source of genetic variability
mutations
300
Organism which contains DNA from another organism
Transgenic Organism
300
DNA has what charge?
negative
300
Give two reasons why DNA would be need to be sequenced on a gel
find a gene or compare genomes
400
A mule is a result of what type of selective breeding
Hybridization
400
Used to maintain traits in a family
inbreeding
400
Reason human genes are inserted in bacteria
in order to produce copies of the gene rapidly
400
Process used to in a thermal cycler to make millions of copies of a fragment of DNA
PCR or Polymerase Chain Reaction
400
Main function of Gel Electrophoresis
Separate DNA based on Size
500
Truse or False - Selective Breeding is a form of Genetic Engineering
False
500
There are two types of mutations that we learned from the last unit - If hybridization takes place what type of mutation is occurring?
chromosomal mutation
500
Process used in order to insert a gene from one organism into the genome of another organims
gene splicing
500
When would "DNA Fingerprinting" be used? (Give two scenarios)
Paternity test, criminal cases, evolution of populations, inherited disorders or diseases
500
Why can't mules reproduce?
Odd number of chromosomes
