  1. 1. an acronym for clustered regularly spaced short palindromic repeats; a unique group of short, repeated DNA sequences found in bacterial genomes; a gene editing tool
  2. 6. a method of producing offspring with desired characteristics by having parents with certain traits reproduce
  3. 7. the cloning process that removes a nucleus from a somatic cell and implants it into a donor egg cell
  4. 9. an organism whose genome has been altered by the addition of genes from another species
  5. 11. the application of living organisms or biological processes to solve human problems or meet human needs
  6. 13. an enzyme, usually produced by bacteria, that can cut DNA strand at a specific sequence of nucleotide base pairs
  7. 14. the process of selecting plants or animals with desirable characteristics to be parents of the next generation to perpetuate the characteristic in offspring
  8. 15. in genetics, the process of producing an organism with the exact genetic makeup of another organism
  9. 16. a method to separate DNA sequences based on size by applying electricity to DNA samples in a gel matrix
Down
  1. 2. a method used in molecular biology to make many copies of a DNA segment in vitro
  2. 3. the complete set of genes within an organism
  3. 4. an organism that expresses a trait acquired though genetic engineering
  4. 5. an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of nucleotide base pairs that make up human DNA, mapping the chromosomal locations of each gene, and attempting to identify the function of each gene in the human body
  5. 8. a sequence of DNA that has been artificially formed by combining DNA from two different organism
  6. 10. a small circular DNA strand in the cytoplasm of bacteria that can replicate independently from the bacterial chromosome and may be transferred between bacterial cells
  7. 12. the intentional modification of an organism's genetic characteristics by manipulating its DNA
