  1. 1. Transformation The process of producing multiple identical copies of DNA fragments and genetically modifying bacteria or other cells.
  2. 2. The process of producing genetically identical cells, groups of cells, or organisms
  3. 5. therapy Transplanting normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective genes in order to fix/correct genetic disorders
  4. 6. A type of biological cell that lacks organelles and a nucleus, but has a cell wall. They may cause diseases
  5. 9. Enzyme An enzyme that cuts the DNA; cuts the gene of interest
  6. 10. Created with genetic modification, the gene for _____ is placed into the gap in the plasmid created in bacterial transformation to make the plasmid genetically modified. This plasmid then is introduced into a new bacteria or yeast cell, where the cell divides rapidly and produces ____. _____ itself allows a person to use sugar
