Terminology
100
These four bases make up DNA.
What is Adenine, Thymine, Guanin, and Cytosine?
100
DNA is transcribed by this enzyme to make RNA.
What is RNA polymerase
100
To select and grow microbes with desirable traits and products.
What is selection?
100
This is the study of genes and their function.
What is genomics?
200
This is the function of mRNA.
What is to encode amino acids?
200
A sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA that specifies an amino acid.
What is a codon?
200
Bacteria engineered to produce toxins against pests.
What is an agricultural application?
200
Segments of DNA that can move or jump from one region of DNA to another.
What are transposons?
300
This cuts a specific sequence of DNA.
What is a restriction enzyme.
300
Starts at the promotor and stops at the terminator.
What is transcription?
300
To make many copies of a piece of DNA; this is used to diagnose genetic diseases, detect pathogens, and sequence DNA.
What is Polymerase Chain Reaction?
300
This relaxes supercoils.
What is gyrase?
400
This brings amino acids to the ribosomes to make proteins during Translation.
What is tRNA (transfer RNA)
400
Binds to the repressor protein, resulting in the production of the enzymes needed for lactose catabolism.
What is the inducer?
400
Maps out all the proteins, may help diagnose and treat diseases.
What is the Human Proteome Project?
400
Allows the growth of organisms that are best adapted to a given environment.
What is natural selection?
500
This is the function of RNA.
What is to synthesize proteins?
500
Set of genes that break down lactose.
What is Lac Operon?
500
Uses computers to study genetic data; increases our understanding of DNA and the function of genes.
What is bioformatics?
500
Insertion or modification of genes to produce desried proteins; can combine genes from unrelated species.
What is Recombinant DNA technology?
