Recombinant DNA, Transgenic Organisms, & Human Genome

The unpaired nucleotides produced by the action of restriction enzymes are referred to as

• sticky end.
• base sequence.
• single strands.
• restriction fragments.

In order to insert a human gene into plasmid, both must 

• code for the same gene product.
• be cut by the same restriction enzyme.
• originate from the same type of cell.
• have identical sequences.

An organism in which foreign genes have been incorporated is called a:

• recombinant organism
• transgene recombinant
• polymorphism
• transgenic organism

Restriction enzymes are used to ___ DNA.

• glue together
• cut
• reconnect
• exchange

An organism that contains DNA from another organism is called:

• transatlantic
• recombinant
• binary
• selective species

One of the goals of the Human Genome Project is to

• increase the number of genes in the human genome
• map the location of only the most important genes on each chromosome
• clone the entire human genome in bacteria
• determine the nucleotide sequence of the entire human genome
