Biotechnology

This is the practice of inserting the DNA of another species into an organism's DNA so that the organism gains a new trait.

Which of these is the correct definition of genetic modification?

• Choosing individuals to mate based on desired characteristics

• Observing genetic changes in populations over time based on adaptive traits

• Extracting stem cells to differentiate into specialized tissues

• Altering the DNA of an organism at the molecular level

During gel electrophoresis, the _______ pieces of DNA move farthest down the gel

• lightest

• heaviest

• ugliest

• deadliest

In regards to making Recombinant DNA:

________ are used to ________ DNA pieces by ________

• Restriction enzymes, connect, fission

• Restriction enzymes, isolate, "snipping"

• Plasmids, connect, fission

• Plasmids, isolate, "snipping"

What does transgenic mean?

• An organism that can change its genes at will

• A stem cell that can differentiate into anything

• An organism that has had another species' DNA put in it

• A bacteria that reproduces asexually

How do you create recombinant DNA?

• First, cut the gene and plasmid with the same restriction enzyme. Second, insert the gene into the plasmid.

• First, insert the gene into the plasmid. Second, cut the gene and plasmid with the same restriction enzyme.

• First, cut the gene and plasmid with different restriction enzymes. Second, insert the gene into the plasmid.

• First, insert the gene into the plasmid. Second, cut the gene and plasmid with different restriction enzymes.

What is a restriction enzyme?

• Enzyme that add to the DNA strand

• Enzyme that builds proteins

• Enzyme that breaks down lipids

• Enzyme that cuts DNA
