Across
- 1. Organisms in which a desired gene sequence has been inserted and expressed
- 3. field that generates useful products by manipulating living systems and their components
- 4. The use of an electrical current applied to a gel matrix to separate biological molecules
- 5. The use of an electrical current to create small holes in a cell membrane Used to introduce recombinant DNA into a cell
- 9. A circular piece of DNA that has been souped-up for the easy insertion and expression of a piece of DNA
- 10. Cells that have the potential to become any type of cell
- 12. An enzyme that acts like a glue connecting the phosphate backbone of a piece of DNA inserted into a cloning vector
- 13. Bacterial scissors or enzymes that recognize specific DNA sequences and cut the DNA at those sites
- 15. Cells that have already been programmed to be a certain type of cell
- 17. The process of deciding what traits should be expressed in the next generation
- 18. Something like a computer chip Thousands of DNA sequences can be spotted on a chip to identify which sequences are present in a sample the determination of the order of nitrogenous bases in DNA
- 21. dna sequence and the cloning vector into which it has been inserted
Down
- 2. The removal of the nucleus of one cell and insertion into an egg cell where the nucleus has been removed
- 6. The use of biotechnology to manipulate an organism's genome
- 7. these are cells that have the potential to become any type of cell
- 8. a small piece of DNA maintained separately from the chromosome
- 11. The insertion of a gene of interest into a souped-up vehicle or vector that allows a single gene to be studied
- 14. These cells can be differentiated and then coaxed to become a completely different type of cell
- 16. The use of a labeled (fluorescent or radioactive) sequence of RNA or DNA that is complementary to the sequence one wants to detect and localize
- 19. A short sequence (usually two to five nucleotides in length) of DNA that is repeated
- 20. Specific DNA sequence recognized by a restriction enzyme
