Question
Answer
Clones   Genetically identical molecules, cells, or organisms all derived from single ancestor  
🗑
Cloning   The production of identical copies of molecule, cells, or organisms from a single ancestor  
🗑
Charles Steward   Grew individual carrot cells in the laboratory by using special nutrients  
🗑
Callus   Ball of undifferentiated cells  
🗑
Embryo splitting   After in vitro fertilization, early embryonic cells are divided and grown into clones  
🗑
Nuclear transfer   Cell fusion, enucleated eggs are fused with embryonic adult cells and grow into clones.  
🗑
First clone horsish   Mule, Horse is mother, Donkey is father  
🗑
Problems with cloning   Viability, lifespan, genetic regulation, epigenetic regulation.  
🗑
Molecular cloning   Technology was developed to clone segments of DNA molecules, based of restriction endonucleases, that recognize and cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences  
🗑
Recombinant DNA Technology   DNA that is created by combining two or more sequences that would not normally occur together  
🗑
Things needed to clone DNA   A way to cut DNA at specific sites, a carrier molecule to hold DNA for cloning, a place where the DNA can be copied  
🗑
Restriction enzymes   Bacterial enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites  
🗑
Vectors   Self- replicating DNA molecules used to transfer foreign DNA segments between host cells (plasmids or engineered viral chromosomes)  
🗑
Plasmids   used as vectors for cloning DNA  
🗑
DNA ligase   Joins recombinant DNA molecules  
🗑
Genomis library   A collection of clones that contain all the genetic information in an individual  
🗑
Yeast artificial chromosome   Cloning vector with telomeres and a centromere, carries DNA fragments up to 1 million bases long, uses eukaryote yeast as a host cell  
🗑
Probe   A labeled nucleic acid used to identify a complementary region in a clone of genome  
🗑
PCR   A method for amplifying DNA segments using cycles of denaturation, annealing to primers, and DNA polymerase- directed synthesis  
🗑
Mullis   Won Nobel Prize in 1993 for PCR, laser pointer story, LSD  
🗑
Southern blotting    
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
