The small circular piece of DNA located in the cytoplasm of many bacteria is the
restriction enzyme
recombinant DNA
bacterial plasmid
chromosome
DNA that contains genes from more than one organism is called
recombinant DNA
bacterial plasmid
cloned DNA
genetic code
Which piece of DNA would move fastest through a gel in gel electrophoresis? A segment that is
100,000 base pairs long
50,000 base pairs long
900 base pairs long
100 base pairs long
A protein used to cut DNA at a specific sequence is called a
recombinant DNA
stem cell
biotechnology
restriction enzyme
A strand of supercoiled DNA in the nucleus of a cell that contains the genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next is called a
chromosome
gene
recombinant DNA
plasmid
DNA was found at a crime scene and forensic scientists used gel electrophoresis to compare it to DNA samples from the possible suspects. Based on this evidence, which suspect is guilty of the crime?
Suspect #1
Suspect #2
Suspect #3
Scientists use genetic engineering to take a certain piece of DNA from a jellyfish and insert it into the genome of a cat. This cat now expresses the new trait that was not naturally part of its genome. The cat is now an example of a
genetically modified organism (transgenic)
plasmid
clone
genetic code
What are some benefits to using recombinant bacteria to produce human insulin?
bacterial insulin is more accepted by the body than human insulin
we can create a lot of insulin at a lower cost using bacteria
the insulin produced is human insulin and will be more accepted by the body
recombinant bacteria cannot create human insulin
The process of manipulating organisms, cells, or molecules to produce specific products is called
GMO
gel electrophoresis
selective breeding
biotechnology
True or False: In gel electrophoresis, the largest DNA fragments will be found closest to the wells.
True
False
