Circular DNA found in bacteria used to transfer other DNA

• Plasmid

• Sticky End

• Ligase

• Restriction Enzyme

The enzyme that glues DNA back together

• Sticky Ends

• DNA Polymerase

• RNA polymerase

• Ligase

These are enzymes that recognize a very specific DNA sequence, then cut the DNA at that sequence. They are used to make rDNA.

• Plasmid

• Restriction Enzymes

• Ligase

• Helicase

An organism that has had its genetic material altered or has had genes added.

• Clone

• GMO

• Ligase

• Sticky end

NGSS.HS-ESS3-4

NGSS.HS-ETS1-3

NGSS.HS-LS2-7

Single nitrogen bases that form when restriction enzymes cut DNA. They are used to make rDNA

• Gene of Interest

• Sticky Ends

• CRISPR Cas 9

• Ligase

The taking in of DNA that the cell or organism did not have before. The new DNA gives new traits to the cell or organism.

• Transformation

• Restriction Enzymes

• Plasmid

• Cloning

To make an exact copy of DNA or an organism

• Ethics

• Bacteria

• GMO

• Cloning

The gene that the scientist is manipulating to make a product.

• Okasaki Fragment

• Plasmid

• Transformation

• Gene of Interest

The process that uses an electric field and a gel matrix to separate the fragments of DNA by size. The fragments were made by restriction enzymes cutting the DNA

• Transgenic Organism

• Electrophoresis

• Transformation

• Recombinant DNA
