Mutations & DNA Tech
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Genetic modification of a bacterium by incorporation of free DNA from another ruptured bacterial cell | Transformation |
| A point mutation that does not result in a change in the amino acid sequence. | Silent mutation |
| A type of mutation in which a nucleotide (base) is replaced by another nucleotide. | point mutation |
| A type of mutation in which a nucleotide (base) is added to a sequence of DNA. | insertion |
| A type of mutation in which a nucleotide (base) is removed from a sequence of DNA. | deletion |
| What were the two goals of the Human Genome Project? | To determine how many genes humans have, & to determine what each of those genes codes for. |
| Using DNA Technologies or enforcing breeding (mating) restrictions to create a perfect organism or a perfect population. | Eugenics |
| Method for rapidly producing identical copies of genes in a lab setting. | Polymerase Chain Reaction |
| DNA Technology that deliberately alters the DNA of an organism. | Genetic Engineering |
| When making recombinant DNA, these enzymes are involved in cutting DNA molecules at specific base sequences, revealing sticky ends. | restriction enzymes |
| When making recombinant DNA, this enzyme forms bonds between the sticky ends. | DNA Ligase |
| Artificial DNA formed by combining segments of DNA from two different organisms. | Recombinant DNA |
| Patterns of DNA bands/segments that are unique to each individual. | DNA fingerprints |
| Process of creating cells OR a whole organism that is genetically identical to a pre-existing one. | Cloning |
