| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Define biotechnology. | The genetic manipulation of organisms. |
| What is meant by "recombinant DNA technology" | It can multiply again over and over. |
| List some of the organisms we have been modifying for many hundreds of years. | Plants and animals. |
| Why are bacteria ideal workhorses for biotechnology? | They can multiply. |
| What are other organisms used in biotechnology? | Foods. |
| How does gene cloning differ from human cloning? | Genes can be exactly alike. |
| Why is DNA cloning considered an important technology? | To strengthen the limits of technology. |
| What are plasmids? | Small circular peice of DNA for cloning. |
| What is the function of restriction enzymes in bacteria? | Restrict certain enzyme to pass through bacteria. |
| How do bacteria protect their DNA from the effects of the restriction enzymes? | They protect the bacteria from viruses. |
| How do biologists make use of restriction enzymes? | They put in a H bond. |
| What is a genomic library? | Cut up genomic DNA from many cells with restriction enzyme. |
| How is cDNA different from typical eukaryote DNA? | It's a collection of only coding sequences of expressed genes. |
| How can transformed bacteria that carry genes of interest be identified and isolated from the majority of non-transformed bacteria? | By separating all the genes and picking that one. |
| What can be accomplished with Nucleic Acid Hybridization? | Can get new genes. |
| What is the purpose of the Polymerase Chain Reaction? | Makes a chain go. |
| List some advantages & uses of the PCR technique. | Requires no cleanup of unwanted cell debrie |
| How are DNA fragments of different sizes separated? | Arqrose gel |
| What is a RFLP? How are they made? | Two pecies of DNA compared on gel electrophorsin |
| What does the technique of Southern Blotting accomplish? | Locate sequence on a gel by transfering DNA from gel to filter paper |
| What are some other techniques that build on the Southern Blotting technique? | Transfer DNA from gel to filter paper and hypridzie filter paper with tagged probe. |
| What was the goal of the Human Genome Project? | To sequence entire human genome. |
| List some of the most important theings we learned by completing the Human Genome Project. | Blueprint of human and the potential to change science and medicince. |
| What is the Sanger Sequencing Method used for? | Flourescent tagging and automated reading. |
| How does the shot -gun approach differ from the whole-genome sequencing? | The shotgun appproach tries to match up the different genes |
| In the future, DNA chips may be used for regular diagnostics. What do the florescent spots indicate when the chip is read? | DNA synthesis. |
| How can DNA technology be used to diagnose a carrier of a genetic disorder? | To tell if there is a break in the strand. |
| What is the goal of gene therapy? | To slow down to genes or medical treatment. |
| How has forensics made use of DNA technology? Give a specific example. | In fingerprint scanning they can tell if a person's fingerprint matches the evidence. |
| What is currently used by the FBI to do a DNA fingerprint in a criminal investigation? | Using it to find a suspect. |
| What is the primary goal of recombinant DNA technology? | To enable scientists to obtain many copies of any specific DNA segment for the purpose of studying it biochemically. |
| Restriction enzymes are | molecular scissors. |
| Recombinant DNA forms when | DNA is spliced into a vector. |
| DNA can be | cloned inside cells. |
| A genomic library contains fragments of all | DNA in the genome. |
| A complementary genetic probe detects a | specific DNA sequence. |
| A cDNA library is complementary to mRNA and does not | contain introns. |
| The polymerase chain reaction is a technique for | amplifying DNA in vitro. |
| Gel electrophoresis is used for | separating macromolecules. |
