What would have caused the plasmid (B) to open?

• restriction enzyme
• ligase
• gene therapy
• sticky ends

DNA cutting "scissors" are

• Bacteriophages
• Restriction Enzymes
• DNA Enzymes
• Plasmids

Plasmids are found in bacteria. Scientists use plasmids to 

• Insert eukaryotic  genes into bacteria
• insert eukaryotic genes into humans
• insert clones into the parent organism

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

• recombinant organism

• transgene recombinant

• polymorphism

• transgenic organism

• using recombinant DNA to produce human hormones from bacteria

• testing parents for genetic disorders before they have children

• engineering fruits and vegetables that resist insects and other pests

• C. developing ways to identify criminals through DNA fingerprinting
