• hybridization

• inbreeding

• polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

The process used to make multiple copies of a specific DNA sequence is called

• polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

• plasmid

• genetic marker

• transgenic

• recombinant DNA

This particle makes it possible to distinguish bacteria that carry a plasmid from those that don't.

• plasmid

• genetic marker

• polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

• transgenic

• recombinant DNA

A population of genetically identical cells produced from a single cell. For example, Dolly the sheep.

• plasmid

• clone

• recombinant DNA

• genetic marker

• polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

These can be produced by the insertion of recombinant DNA into the genome of a host organism, so that they contain DNA from more than one species.
