Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Transgentic   The transfer of genes between species  
🗑
Transgentic organism   An organism that has received a gene from another species by means of recombinant DNA technology  
🗑
Pompe disease   An inability to make a -gluvosidase, leads to reduced heart and muscle function  
🗑
Transgentic animals produce human GAA example   Transgenic F rabbits produce human GAA enzyme in their milk, and in transgenic hamster cells  
🗑
Embryonic Stem Cells   From the inner cell mass of early embryos. These cells and pluripotent and can form many different mature cell types  
🗑
Adult Stem Cells   Recovered from bone marrow or other organs. Can develop into a limited number of mature cells. Are considered multipotent  
🗑
Induced plutipotent stem cells   Adult cells reprogrammed by gene transfer. They behave similar to embryonic stem cells.  
🗑
Stem cell uses   Can replace defective cells, treatment of leukemia, treatment of burns  
🗑
Diseases studied with stem cells   Huntington's, Gaucher, Type 1 diabetes  
🗑
Minisatellites   Nucleotide sequences 14-100 base pairs long, organized into cluster of varying lengths; used in the construction of DNA fingerprints  
🗑
DNA fingerprint   Detection of variations in minisatellites used to identify individuals  
🗑
Short Tandem Repeat   Short nucleotide sequences 2-9 base pairs long organized into cluster of varying lengths  
🗑
DNA profile   STR pattern used to identify individuals  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
