| biotechnology | organisms, cells, and their molecules are modified to achieve practical beliefs |
| genetic modification | manipulation of organisms genetic material by adding,deleting, or transporting gene |
| steps of biotechnology | 1. chop dna from a donor species that exhibits a trait of interest 2. amplify small sample of dna into useful quantities 3. Insert pieces of DNA into bacterial cells or viruses 4. grow separate colonies of bacteria cells or viruses |
| CRISPR | gene editing system that brings greater precision and effencuy to modify gene |
| cloning | 1.isolate egg cell from one sheep and a mammary cell from another 2. fuse the mammary cell, including nuclear w the egg cell 3.iniate cell division 4. grow embryo in culture 5.transplant the embryo into the womb of a surrogate mother 6. birth |
| short tandem repeats (STR) | sequence of DNA that repeat over and over again occur in some highly variable regions of an individual DNA |
| DNA polymerase | segment containing DNA is heated, separating double strand into two small strands 2. adding along w a large number of free nucleotide 3.adds complimentary bases to each single strand 4.results is two identical copies |
| agriculture improvements | more nutritious food, insect resistant, herbicide resistant, fast growing and bigger |
