Biology 2 - C01 - 06

🧬⚡BIO02 Module 1 — Rapid Recall Set 2 — 06

QuestionAnswer
What is CRISPR-Cas9? A gene-editing tool using guide RNA and Cas9 nuclease.
What is a GMO? An organism whose genome has been altered using genetic engineering.
How is insulin produced using recombinant DNA? Human insulin gene inserted into bacteria; bacteria express insulin.
What is DNA fingerprinting? A technique using STRs to identify individuals.
What is gene therapy? The insertion of functional genes to treat genetic disorders.
What is gene drive? A system that increases the chance a gene is inherited.
What are off-target effects? Unintended DNA modifications caused by gene-editing tools.
Why use cDNA instead of genomic DNA? cDNA lacks introns, so bacteria can express it.
How can CRISPR correct a mutation? gRNA targets site; Cas9 cuts; repair template fixes sequence.
Why must restriction enzymes create compatible ends? To allow correct base-pairing for ligation.
Why is heat-shock used in transformation? It increases membrane permeability for DNA entry.
Compare electroporation and heat-shock. Electroporation uses electric pulses; heat-shock uses temperature shifts.
Why is blue-white screening useful? White colonies indicate successful insertion.
What do white colonies indicate? lacZ disrupted → recombinant plasmid present.
Purpose of recombinant DNA technology. To combine DNA from different sources for new genetic combinations.

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.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

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.
