Genetical engineering

Question 1

Genetic engineering Vs Biotechnology

Answer 1

Any direct minipulcation of an organism’s gene and using scientific procedures to influence specific processes in living organisms which will benefit humans or improve the environment

Question 2

Recombinant DNA Vs Genetically modified organisms

Answer 2

A form of DNA that does not occur naturally but is created by combining DNA sequences that would not normally occur together and an organisms with introuced foreign DNA(gene) that results in new and useful traits

Question 3

Transgenic

Question 4

Cloning Vs Polyploidy

Answer 4

A process used to creat an exact copy of another gene,cell,tissue or organism and is a condition of having more than the basic two copies of chromosome

Question 5

What is plant tissue?

Answer 5

widely used to produce clones of plants in a method know as micropropagation

Question 6

Gene therapy

Answer 6

An experimental genetic engineering technique that replaces a faulty gene or adds a gene in an attempt to cure disease or improve the body’s ability to fight disease

Question 7

Vector Vs Plasmid

Answer 7

A virus(bacteriophage) or plasmid that transfer foreign genetic material into another cell and a circular,double stranded DNA molecule found in a bacterial cell that are not part of the bacterial chromosome

Question 8

Two ways that genes are introduced into the body and explain

Answer 8

Direct delivery-Vector can be injected or given intravenously(by IV) directly into a specific tissue

Cell-based delivery-Patient’s cell can be removed and exposed to the vector in a labortory setting then returns to patient
