The human genome is approximately this many base pairs large. 

What is 6.7 billion base pairs (6.7 gigabases)?

Stem cells are unique because they have this quality.

What is undifferentiated (nonspecialized)?

100

The name of a subunit of any macromolecule. 

What is a monomer?

Smaller DNA bands move to the bottom of the gel faster because they can move through the holes more quickly, but all bands will move down the gel because that where the positive electrode is, and DNA carries this charge. 

What is a negative charge?

200

GMOs have had this changed about them.

What are their genes (DNA)?

200

One way of delivering gene therapy is by using this non-living vector. 

What is a virus (viral gene therapy)?

200

These types of stem cells can only turn into a small number of other cell types (Example: hematopoetic cells in bone marrow).

What are adult stem cells?

200

The formula for photosynthesis.

What is 6CO2  + 6H2O + Sunlight -> C6H12O6 + 6O2?

The match to the bloodstain in this DNA Fingerprint.

Who is suspect 3?

One potential side effect from GMOs could be this, caused by an anaphylactic reaction to an allergen.

What is an allergic reaction?

300

The location of a gene is called this.

What is a locus?

300

These types of stem cells can become any cell, but research involving them has been outlawed due to their controversial source. 

What are embryonic stem cells?

300

The job of these molecules is to speed up chemical reaction. 

What are enzymes?

400

This molecule helps to cut the DNA into pieces, but only does so at very specific sequences. 

What is a restriction enzyme?

400

One way of creating a genetically modified organism is by using this, a small piece of circular DNA readily absorbed and incorporated into bacterial genomes. 

What is a plasmid?

400

The Human Genome Project was an endeavor to map all the genes on all 46 human chromosomes, and it took this many years to complete. 

What is 13?

Stem cells may be able to help with this type of medical procedure, because when grown from your own stem cells, it won't cause an immune reaction (Graft versus Host).

Golden rice has been genetically modified to produce a precursor of this vitamin, a feat not possible without genetic engineering. 

What is vitamin A?

500

A condition characterized by fault potassium pumps and mucus retention, this disease is a good candidate for gene therapy because of its single point mutation change from the healthy gene to the diseased one. 

What is cystic fibrosis?

500

Stem cells from humans that were once differentiated, but have since reverted back to stem cells due to a "chemical cocktail."

What are induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs)?

500

The phase in meiosis during which crossing over can occur.

What is prophase I?
