Cancer
A person with malignant tumors is said to have
cancer
genes that have acquired one or more genes through genetic engineering.
Genetically modified organisms (GMO)
results in a protein that overstimulates the cell cycle.
Mutated growth factor gene
what are two major types of cells.
prokaryotic and Eukaryotic
A square showing off possible gene varriations.
Punnet square.
The spread of cancer cells from their site of origin to sites distant in the body
Metastasis
restriction enzymes
a piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein.
gene
Any part of a eukaryotic cell that has its own structure and function.
organelles
how many chromosomes in total do humans have.
46
A tumor that can not move beyond its original location.
benign tumor
The direct manipulation of genes for practical use.
Gene engineering
If an organism has two different alleles for a trait.
heterozygous
Cells that are composed of RNA and protein.
ribosomes
The traits or characteristics that show up in the off spring
phenotypes.
Produces an abnormal protein that fails to regulate the cell cycle
oncogene
A gene transferred from another species
transgenic organism
True or false: Selective breeding and Genetically modified organisms are the same thing.
false
where does translation take place
inside the cell
This trait will always show up if the allele for this trait is present.
dominant
Drugs that disrupt cell division because they are administered via the bloodstream.
Chemotherapy
The manipulation of organisms or their components to make useful products.
Biotechnology
A technology that effectively "edits" genes; Cas9 and gRNA remove faulty gene and replace with functioning gene.
Crispr
Cells only have one copy of each other.
haploid
If an organism has two identical alleles for a trait.
homozygous
