Biotechnology voc.

Method of breeding that allows only those organisms with desired characteristics to produce the next generation

• hybridization

• selective breeding

• polymerase chain reaction

• genetic marker

True or False: DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources is called recombinant DNA

• True

• False

Breeding technique that involves crossing dissimilar individuals to bring together the best traits of both organisms

• Transgenic

• Biotechnology

• Hybridization

• Clone

The continued breeding of individuals with similar, desirable characteristics to maintain those characteristics in their offspring is called ___________________

DNA Fingerprinting is:

• member of a population of genetically identical cells produced from a single cell

• Glass slide or silicone chip that carries thousands of different kinds of single-stranded DNA fragments arranged in a grid. A DNA microarray is used to detect and measure the expression of thousands of genes at one time

• Tool used by biologists that analyzes an individual's unique collection of DNA restriction fragments; used to determine whether two samples of genetic material are from the same person

Cloning is:

• genetically identical cells produced from a single cell

• an organism that contains genes from other organisms

• a small, circular piece of DNA located in the Cytoplasm of many bacteria

True or False: Scientific study of crime scene evidence is called forensics

• False

• True

True or False: The process of changing a gene to treat a medical disease or disorder. An absent or faulty gene is replaced by a normal working gene is called DNA microarray

• False

• True

The Process of changing a gene to treat a medical disease or disorder. An absent or faulty gene is replaced by a normal working gene is called __________

• Gene therapy

• Plasmids

• Genetic marker

• Selective breeding

True or False: The object that is used to detect and measure the expression of thousands of genes at one time is called a DNA microarray

• True

• False
