Genetics and Genetic Engineering

the process of copying a DNA molecule to make another DNA molecule

• replication

• transcription

• translation

• mutation

a permanent change in the sequence of DNA, or the nucleotides, in a gene or chromosome

• mutation

• adaptation

• camouflage

• variation

biological and chemical methods that change the arrangement of DNA that makes up a gene

• adaptation

• natural selection

• selective breeding

• genetic engineering

a unit of heredity which is transferred from parent to offspring and determines some characteristics of the offpsring
