Biology 14 Vocab

2. A type of profiling which DNA is analyzed using PCR and gel electrophoresis to create an individual’s banding pattern of the DNA segments that repeat in our DNA genome.
3. Gene therapy in which cells are removed from an organism, and DNA injected to correct a genetic defect; the cells are returned to the organism to treat a disease or disorder
4. DNA that has been synthesized from mRNA by the action of reverse transcriptase
6. Gene therapy in which normal genes are injected directly into an organism to treat a condition often due to a faulty gene
11. Technique that uses the enzyme DNA polymerase to produce millions of copies of a particular piece of DNA
12. The enzyme which seals DNA strands together
13. Bacterial enzyme that stops viral reproduction by cleaving viral DNA; used to cut specific points during production of recombinant DNA
16. Production of pharmaceuticals using transgenic farm animals
17. A type of cut made by restriction enzymes creating straight, clean cuts on a DNA strand
18. Correction of detrimental mutation by the addition of new DNA and its insertion in a genome

1. Use of animal organs, instead of human organs, in human transplant patients
5. Free-living organisms in the environment that has had a foreign gene inserted into it
7. The complete set of genetic material present in a cell or organism
8. Circular piece of DNA found in bacteria
9. Location on a DNA molecule with specific sequence of nucleotides which restriction enzymes recognize
10. Acronym for a method use in crime detection (DNA fingerprinting) and paternity tests
14. A type of cut made by restriction enzymes creating jagged-like cuts on a DNA strand
15. Production of multiple copies
