 | Term | Definition |
| |
Gel Electrophoresis |
a process used by researchers to break apart nucleic acids or proteins and sort the fragments by size |
| |
Restriction Enzymes |
enzymes that cut/break DNA bonds at precise spots within the base sequence |
| |
How to Interpret Results |
using dyes, you would see band patterns in seperate gel tracks. you would see simlar patterns to indicate the similarities in the band sequences |
| |
Uses/Applications of Biotech |
identification, solving crimes by looking at fingerprints |
| |
How GEnetically Modified Foods/Transgenic Organisms are created |
it gets a genetic change in each of its cells that a researcher has introduced; the modification may add a gene from a different species and thereby create a transgenic plant |
| |
Plasmid |
a small circular piece of DNA found in bacteria; can serve as a vector [carrier of genetic material] in genetic engineering |
| |
Genes you want to insert |
can be traits of other plants |
| |
Down Syndrome |
Inheritance=Triosmy extra copy 21;; Symptoms=poor muscle tone, slanting eyes, hyperflexibility, short, broad hands/feet, short toes, flat bridge-nose, short neck, small head, small oral capacity, short-low set ears, hearing loss, mental retardation |
| |
Color Blindness |
Inheritance=X-linked Recessive;; Symptoms=can range from slight difficulty in telling different shades of a color apart to not being able to identify any color |
| |
Hemophilia |
Inheritance=X-linked Recessive [males];; Symptoms=uncontrollable bleeding |
| |
Sickle Cell Anemia |
Interitance=Autosomal Recessive;; Symptoms=infections, lung problems, bone damage, stroke |
| |
Cystic Fibrosis |
Inhertiance=Autosomal Recessive;; Symptoms=very salty tasting skin, persistent coughing, frequent lung infections, wheezing/shortness of breath, poor height gain/growth |
| |
How Clones are created |
a diploid somatic nucleus is inserted into an egg from which the nucleus has been removed |
| |
Somatic Cell Donor |
gives genetic info., what it looks like |
| |
Egg Donor |
gives egg cell |
| |
Surrogate Mother |
gives birth |
