DNA Technology
Across
- 7. A short, single strand of DNA that is used to produce the starting sequence of DNA polymerase at the beginning or end of a desired gene.
- 8. Found in viruses, is an enzyme that defies the central dogma of biology.
- 9. Polymerase Stolen from extremophiles to do our dirty work.
- 11. Complementary to the active site of restriction endonucleases.
- 15. The process by which two complementary single-stranded DNAs anneal together to form a double-stranded DNA.
- 16. The process by which plasmids are inserted into bacteria, involving calcium ions and heat shock.
- 19. Circular rings of DNA that can be modified using technology.
- 21. Stolen from jellyfish to illuminate cats!
- 22. Temperature used to break hydrogen bonds in PCR.
- 23. A repeated sequence found in non-coding regions of DNA.
Down
- 1. 3 words, repeat and repeat, and somehow you'll end up with 2^n.
- 2. A worldwide effort to uncover the truth behind humans.
- 3. Found in bacteria, an enzyme used to cut DNA.
- 4. A short, single strand of DNA that is used to mark whether a desired gene is present by using fluorescent or radioactive markers.
- 5. A technique used to analyse DNA
- 6. Temperature used for DNA replication in PCR.
- 10. Donald trump hates these organisms because they are...!
- 12. Used for join oligonucleotides to produce a desired gene, provided the amino acid sequence is known.
- 13. The name given to the medium by which recombinant DNA enters an organism.
- 14. Temperature used to anneal DNA primers in PCR.
- 17. Property given to something that can be read the same backwards as done forwards.
- 18. A technique used to separate DNA based on size.
- 20. ligase Joins together adjacent nucleotides through the formation of phosphodiester bonds.
