Term
Definition
show refers to the use of living organisms, cells, or biological systems to create products or solve problems. It involves the manipulation of biological molecules, typically DNA, for various applications  
🗑
show The process of combining DNA from different sources to create new genetic combination  
🗑
show The deliberate modification of an organism's genome using biotechnology techniques  
🗑
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)   show
🗑
DNA Cloning and Recombinant DNA : Recombinant DNA (rDNA)   show
🗑
show Circular DNA molecules used as vectors to carry foreign DNA into host cells  
🗑
Vector   show
🗑
show The process of introducing recombinant DNA into a host cell  
🗑
show Proteins that cut DNA at specific sequences. These are used to "cut" both the plasmid and the gene of interest so they can be combined. Ex: EcoRI: Cuts DNA at a specific recognition sequence, leaving "sticky ends" that are joined with other DNA fragments  
🗑
show used to join two DNA fragments (e.g., ligating the gene of interest into the plasmid vector)  
🗑
show a technique used to make many copies of a specific segment of DNA in a test tube  
🗑
PCR Steps   show
🗑
show Heating the DNA to separate strands  
🗑
show Cooling the DNA and allowing primers to bind  
🗑

🗑
Applications of Biotechnology : Genetic Engineering of Organisms : Gene Therapy   show
🗑
Somatic Cell Gene Therapy   show
🗑
Germ-line Gene Therapy   show
🗑
show Biotechnology is used to produce drugs, hormones, and other therapeutic proteins through the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs)  
🗑
Applications of Biotechnology : Genetic Engineering of Organisms : Environmental Biotechnology : Bioremediation   show
🗑
show Genetically modified microorganisms are used in waste treatment plants to break down pollutants  
🗑
show the study of the entire genome of an organism, including the sequencing, mapping, and analysis of genes and their functions  
🗑

🗑
Techniques in Genomics : Comparative Genomics   show
🗑
show The study of the function of genes and how they interact with each other in pathways to regulate biological processes  
🗑
Functional Genomics : Gene Expression Profiling   show
🗑
show Personalized Medicine, Pharmacogenomics, Genomic Medicine, Agricultural Genomics  
🗑
show Use of living organisms or biological systems to make or modify products  
🗑
show DNA that is formed by combining genetic material from different sources  
🗑
Plasmid   show
🗑
PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction)   show
🗑

🗑
show The study of the complete set of genes in an organism’s genome  
🗑
show A technique used to treat or prevent disease by modifying the genetic material of a patient’s cells  
🗑


   

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.
