Biology Chapter 13
Final Review
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Genetic Engineering | making changes in the DNA code |
4 different techniques molecular biologists use to study and change dna molecules | extract dna from cells, cut dna into smaller pieces, identify the base sequences, make unlimited copies |
How to get DNA out of a cell | open the cell and separate the dna from other cell parts |
Biologists use these to cut DNA molecules at a specific sequence of nucleotides to make smaller fragments. | What are restriction enzymes? |
Gel electrophoresis | process by which DNA fragments are separated and analyzed. the electric voltage applied to the gel separates the DNA fragments. it is used to compare the genomes of different ogranisms. it can be used to locate and identify one particular gene in a genome |
- end=this +end =this | longer fragments, shorter fragments |
4 ingredients to produce tagged dna fragments to be used to read a dna sequence | small, single stranded dna pieces, enzyme that makes a complementary strand, 4 nucleotide bases, and flouresent die |
The pattern of the colored bands on a gel tells | the exact sequence of the bases in DNA |
Recombinant DNA | produced by combining dna from different sources |
Polymerase chain reaction | technique that allows biologists to make many copies of a certain gene |
