The enzyme that glues DNA back together

These are enzymes that recognize a very specific DNA sequence, then cut the DNA at that sequence. They are used to make rDNA.

An organism that has had its genetic material altered or has had genes added.

The idea that scientists must think about how their actions or products will affect other people or the environment. Keeping in mind the safety of other species.

Single nitrogen bases that form when restriction enzymes cut DNA. They are used to make rDNA

The taking in of DNA that the cell or organism did not have before. The new DNA gives new traits to the cell or organism.

To make an exact copy of DNA or an organism

The gene that the scientist is manipulating to make a product.

The process that uses an electric field and a gel matrix to separate the fragments of DNA by size. The fragments were made by restriction enzymes cutting the DNA

A precise gene editing system that can recognize a DNA sequence and then alter it or replace it.

Single celled, prokaryotic organisms that are used in genetic engineering. Many enzymes and systems used in Genetic Engineering come from these organisms.

Questions or concerns about genetic engineering that need to be researched and answered before genetic engineering products are used.

Formed when DNA from two different sources are combined together
