Module 38 - Biotechnology Flashcards
1
Q
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
A
A technique that allows a targeted region of DNA to be replicated into as many copies as desired
2
Q
Gel electrophoresis
A
A procedure in which DNA fragments are separated by size as they migrate through a gel in response to an electrical field.
Larger molecules move through the gel slower than smaller molecules
3
Q
DNA editing
A
Techniques that allow one to essentially rewrite nucleotide sequences
