- 1. Transformation The process of producing multiple identical copies of DNA fragments and genetically modifying bacteria or other cells.
- 2. The process of producing genetically identical cells, groups of cells, or organisms
- 5. therapy Transplanting normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective genes in order to fix/correct genetic disorders
- 6. A type of biological cell that lacks organelles and a nucleus, but has a cell wall. They may cause diseases
- 9. Enzyme An enzyme that cuts the DNA; cuts the gene of interest
- 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
