The Human Genome

Creation of an RNA molecule from DNA

• Translation

• Transcription

• Point Mutation

• Differentiation

Police departments and other agencies are often tasked with investigating crimes. During their investigation of one particular crime, they were able to do some DNA fingerprinting. The results are attached.

Based off this DNA fingerprinting, which suspect do you think committed the crime?

• Suspect 1

• Suspect 2

• Suspect 3

• None

• DNA fingerprinting

An enzyme that cuts the DNA into different sizes during gel electrophoresis.

• restriction enzyme

• replication enzyme

• transcription enzyme

• translation enzyme

An organism that contains genes from other organisms

A protein that regulates glucose level in the bloodstream is called

• insulin

• enzyme

• collagen

• hemoglobin

A genetically engineered DNA made from two different organisms is called
