• Kary Mullis

What is required for polymerase chain reactions (PCR)?

• template RNA

• DNA polymerase

• ribose sugar

• nucelotides

• template DNA

The amount of DNA _______ with each replication cycle.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) ______ a targeted DNA sequence.

• deletes

• edits

• copies

• changes

PCR is also known as a __________ method.

• gene amplification

• deletion

• substitution

• machine

Cloning is the making of ______ copies of DNA

Match the following definitions/characteristics to their vocabulary word.

• DNA ligase

• carry gene of interest into an

  organism- they can easily be introduced

  into cells

• restriction enzymes

• is DNA from two

  different sources (human + viral or human

  + bacterial)

• vector

• enzyme that seals the cuts in

  DNA- work like molecular glue

• recombinant DNA

• enzymes that cut

  DNA at specific base sequences- work like

  molecular scissors

• gene cloning

• is the production of many

  identical copies of a gene- or amplifying

  the gene

This is the technology that can identify and

distinguish among individuals based on variations in their DNA.

• DNA profiling

• DNA sequencing

• PCR

• Cloning
