Across
- 3. Are vital proteins that speed up the chemical reactions taking place within cells. For example, they aid in digestion, metabolism and immune function.
- 4. gene from another organism that is spliced into a cloning vector
- 6. host organism that receives recombinant DNA
- 8. the combination of DNA from two different sources
- 9. program dedicated to the determination of the human nucleotide sequence and location of the genes on the chromosomes
- 11. ring of DNA found in bacteria in addition to its chromosome
- 13. a carrier that is used to clone a gene and transfer it to another organism
- 15. pattern of bands made up of specific fragments from an individual's DNA
- 16. the technique the separates DNA into a DNA fingerprint
- 17. single chain ends of DNA created by restriction enzymes
- 18. Substances such as radiation or chemicals that can create random changes in the genetic material of living things
Down
- 1. DNA that is identical to what it was derived from
- 2. enzme used to cut DNA into small pieces
- 5. technology used in genetic engineering
- 7. process of selecting and breeding organism that has a desired trait
- 10. technology used to make many copies of DNA
- 12. A strand of DNA stored in cells that can replicate itself and divide when each cell divides for growth or repair. Humans have 23 chromosomes in our genome which contains the genetic blueprint for every cell in our bodies.
- 14. radioactive segments of DNA complimentary to the segments being compared
- 16. process in which DNA is modified for use
