Q

true or false If transcription is repressed, then translation does not occur?

A

True. If transcription is repressed, it means that RNA polymerase is prevented from transcribing the DNA into mRNA.

18
Q

Type of genetic transfer uses a bacteriophage to transfer DNA

19
Q

Procedure that amplifies and makes more DNA using Thermus aquaticus

20
Q

Type of genetic transfer where segments of DNA move from one region to another

21
Q

Type of mutation where a single base is replace within another base

A

base substitution

22
Q

Plasmids Are

A

replication separately from chromosomal DNA
enhance pathogenicity
are circular pieces of DNA

23
Q

Gel Electrophoresis

A

uses electrical currect to separate DNA molecules
uses PCR to obtain amplified data
the smaller the DNA travels that farther they travel

24
Q

Gene editing tool that locates a specific DNA sequence and cuts it out

25
CRISPR-Cas 9 can be used to
fix human genetic diseases modify plants modify livestock
26
Type of plasmid used in conjugation
F factor
27
Process of using viruses to introduce genetic material into human cells to treat disease
gene therapy
