Polygenic trait
Flowers can be purple, yellow or purple & yellow. What heredity is displayed?
Codominance
Complete dominance
Incomplete dominance
Epistatic gene is involved
Hair can be red, blonde, brown, black and varying shades of each color. What inheritance is seen here?
this is a polygenic trait
incomplete dominance
an epistatic gene is involved
multiple alleles
The genetic code or actual genes of a trait (the letters) is the
phenotype
genotype
homozygous
heterozygous
Another name for homozygous
dihybrid
genotype
hybrid
purebred
What type of inheritance do two alleles have if their traits blend together, forming a 3rd phenotype?
Incomplete Dominance
Co-Dominance
Mendelian Inheritance
Homozygous Inheritance
In molecular cloning, a __________ is used to insert a fragment of DNA into the host cell.
plasmid
DNA fragment
bacterium
virus
Organisms that have foreign DNA inserted from a different species are called
transgenic
transmutated
adenoviruses
haploid
The process where an electric current is used to separate nucleic acids based on size and is used in forensics is called
gel electrophoresis
cloning
transgenic manipulation
PCR
The process used to make copies of DNA when not much is available and is often used in forensics is called
gel electrophoresis
cloning
PCR
transgenics
The polymerase chain reaction is important because it allows us to
Make many copies of a targeted segment of DNA
Insert eukaryotic genes into prokaryotic plasmids
Incorporate genes into viruses
Make DNA from RNA
This cuts DNA molecules at specific locations
restriction enzymes
DNA ligase
polymerase
ATP
Genetically engineered plants
are more difficult to engineer than animals
include a transgenic rice plant that could help prevent vitamin A deficiency
are being rapidly developed, but traditional plant breeding programs are still the only method to develop new plants
are banned throughout the world
This laboratory procedure is known as
CLONING
gel electrophoresis
chromatography
use of a dichotomous key
In preparation for an electrophoresis procedure, enzymes are added to DNA in order to
convert the DNA into gel
cut the DNA into fragments
change the color of the DNA
produce longer sections of DNA
What is transformation?
The use of viruses to transform or genetically
engineer cells.
The measure of how well cells are transformed in a new phenotype.
The insertion of a foreign plasmid into a bacterial cell which results in new acquired traits.
Genetic engineering or transformation of mammalian cells.
