LESSON 2 Flashcards
(17 cards)
DNA molecules that are extracted from diff. sources & chemically joined together.
Recombinant DNA Technology
It contains genetic information and instructions for protein synthesis.
DNA/ Deoxyribonucleic acid
Every DNA molecule is made in a twisted ladder shape called _____ ______
Double Helix
Every DNA molecule is made in a twisted ladder shape called _____ ______
Double Helix
The sides of the ladder are called _______
Backbone
It is the simple sugar or carbohydrates
Ribose
It is the anion/salt
Phosphate
What are the 4 types of Nucleotide Bases?
ADENINE - Code of life
THYMINE - Trait, phenotype
CYTOSINE - Heredity
GUANINE - Cellular Functions, Heredity, & Survival of Organisms
What are the 2 types of base pairings?
Adenine & Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine
It is the replication in a sequence of DNA, it happens when nucleotide bases fail to pair.
Mutation
It is the process of introducing a new gene from one animal to another
Transgenesis
What is the process in Transgenesis
-Gene of choice is manipulated
-Transgene is injected into the egg of an animal
-Egg is implanted into a surrogate
What are the 7 most common GMOs (foods)?
Corn
Soy
Zucchini
Alfafa
Canola
Sugar Beets
Milk
This describes the process of copying fragments of DNA which can then be used for many different purposes, such as creating GM crops, or finding a cure for disease.
Gene cloning
It involves the use of restriction enzymes and ligases using vectors and cloning the fragments into host cells
In Vivo
The DNA to be copied & the template DNA - is mixed with forward and reverse primers complementary to the end of the template DNA, nucleotides, and a version of DNA polymerase known as Taq polymerase.
In Vitro
What is the process of In vitro?
- Denaturation
- Primer annealing
- Extension
