1. | Restriction Enzyme | A. | technique used to separate mixtures like DNA and proteins. The separation is based on how positively or how negatively charged a molecule is, and its size. | |
2. | Biotechnology | B. | an international scientific research project determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome. | |
3. | Plasmid | C. | the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make products | |
4. | Agarose Gel | D. | a genetic structure that can replicate independently of the main chromosome of a cell. | |
5. | DNA Fingerprinting | E. | organism that contains a gene or genes which have been artificially inserted instead of the organism acquiring them through reproduction (two words) | |
6. | DNA Extraction | F. | the analysis of DNA from samples of body tissues or fluids in order to identify individuals. | |
7. | Gene Therapy | G. | technique used to amplify a single or a few copies of a piece of DNA generating thousands to millions of copies | |
8. | Polymerase chain reaction | H. | a process of purification of DNA from sample using a combination of physical and chemical methods | |
9. | Transgenic Organism | I. | DNA-cutting enzymes found in bacteria | |
10. | Gel Electrophoresis | J. | A technique that places a gene into a cell to correct a hereditary disease or to improve the genome | |
11. | Human Genome Project | K. | gel made from seaweed used in electrophoresis to separate and analyze proteins and DNA |
