Nanotechnology Final Exam Review 1/2

Genetic engineering can be described as

• a process to remove cells in the body

• a process of altering the DNA in an organism in order to change its proteins

• the process of using small nanobots to clone sheep

• only used in the human genome project

The function of a protein depends on

• its genetic make-up

• the shape of the molecule

• the nanoparticles used

• the animal that the protein came from

The process for making proteins is:

• (nucleus) DNA → mRNA → tRNA → ribosomes → protein

• mRNA → tRNA → (nucleus) DNA → ribosomes → protein

• Protein → mRNA → tRNA → (nucleus) DNA → ribosomes

• tRNA → ribosomes → protein→ mRNA → tRNA →(nucleus) DNA
