An organism that has been engineered to carry genes from another organism Transgenic
A method of treating genetic disorders by inserting a functional copy of the missing or non-functional gene into cells Gene Therapy
A machine that makes copies of DNA PCR
A technique that seperates molecules (usually DNA or protein fragments). This allows you to visualize differences between physical pieces of DNA as determined by how they cut using restriction enzymes Electrophoresis
A method of identifying individuals based on their DNA sequences using fingerprints DNA Fingerprinting
Any tool used to insert foreign DNA (plasmid, virus, gene gun) Vector
The binding of a piece of DNA or RNA to its complementary strand on a chromosome, often, scientists use radioactive DNA fragments for this process. They can track where the DNA has bound. Because of this, they can look for a certain gene or sequence Hybridization

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
