Cloning

• a simple cell in the body that is able to develop into any one of various kinds of cells (such as blood cells, skin cells, etc.)

• a random change to a gene that results in a new trait.

• propagate (an organism or cell) to make an identical copy of

DNA

• The basic unit of structure and function in living things. Cells can make products, be products themselves, or be used to do jobs.

• Stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. A type of molecule that carries instructions needed to make genes that produce traits of an organism.

Genes

• Unique DNA molecules that provide blueprints for cells to make proteins or carry out other life functions.

• a random change to a gene that results in a new trait.

Genetic engineering

• Unique DNA molecules that provide blueprints for cells to make proteins or carry out other life functions.

• allows selected individual genes to be transferred from one organism into another and also between non-related species. (GMO)

• DNA manipulation of cells or organisms- Genes are added, deleted or changed
