- 1. a complex process that lets one exactly copy the genetic, or inherited, traits of an animal (the donor)
- 3. he determination of the order of nitrogenous bases in DNA.
- 6. the analysis of DNA from samples of body tissues or fluids, especially when conducted in order to identify individuals.
- 7. The use of biology to solve problems and make useful products
- 11. The use of an electrical current applied to a gel matrix to separate biological molecules.
- 14. produce (an animal or plant) by mating or hybridizing two different species, breeds, or varieties.
- 15. Engineering The use of biotechnology to manipulate an organism's genome. We know it sounds like an eerie futuristic movie, but actually, it's very common.

Down
- 2. Organisms whose genome has been altered in a lab in order to favor expression
- 4. Cloning The insertion of a gene of interest into a souped-up vehicle or vector that allows a single gene to be studied.
- 5. Expression How the heritable information in a gene is manifested in the cell. Much like a circuit breaker, this can describe whether a gene is turned on or off.
- 8. the use of either naturally occurring or deliberately introduced microorganisms or other forms of life to consume and break down environmental pollutants, in order to clean up a polluted site.
- 9. DNA DNA sequence and the cloning vector into which it has been inserted.
- 10. taught himself how to crossbreed superior seeds"
- 12. A plasmid is a small piece of DNA, maintained separately from the chromosome. Plasmids are common in prokaryotes, but rare in eukaryotes.
- 13. the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, or in each cell of a multicellular organism.
