DNA Technology
Across
- 2. technique that allows molecular biologists to make many copies of a particular gene
- 3. Procedure used to separate and analyze DNA fragments by placing a mixture of DNA fragments at one end of a porous gel and applying an electrical voltage to the gel
- 9. organism that is genetically engineered by inserting a gene from another organism
- 10. A cell present in adult tissues that generates replacements for nondividing differentiated cells.
- 11. Spelled the same backward and forward (restriction enzymes
- 12. twins who develop from a single fertilized egg that splits in two, creating two genetically identical organisms
- 14. Straight cuts in DNA without overhangs.
- 16. a segment of a DNA molecule
- 18. The insertion of working copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder in an attempt to correct the disorder
- 19. An international collaborative effort to map and sequence the DNA of the entire human genome.
- 20. the uneven ends of a double-stranded DNA molecule that has been cut with a restriction enzyme
- 21. An organism or vehicle that delivers genetic material into a cell.
- 22. A mechanical vector used to insert a new gene into a cell
- 23. A biological vector used genetic engineering
Down
- 1. DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources
- 3. Tool used to shoot genes into cells
- 4. any cell of a living organism other than the reproductive cells.
- 5. An undifferentiated cell, taken from an embryo that has potential to give rise to various other cell or tissue types
- 6. Cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides
- 7. A tiny, nonliving particle that invades and then reproduces inside a living cell. Used as vectors in genetic engineering
- 8. A DNA segment that results from the cutting of DNA by a restriction enzyme.
- 13. Cells that are capable of developing into most, but not all, of the body's cell types
- 15. The analysis of DNA from samples of body tissues or fluids in order to identify individuals.
- 17. Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell: A laboratory technique that 'deprograms' differentiated cells through manipulation, restoring them to a pluripotent state.
