used for cutting DNA at a specific location

creating a genetically identical copy of a gene or an organism

a form of cloning that removes the egg's nucleus and inserts a nucleus from the desired organism to be cloned

first cloned mammal

organs for human transplants, save endangered species, medical treatments, bring back extinct species

low success rate, shorter lifespan, clones are less healthy than original organism, decrease biodiversity

DNA formed in a lab by putting together DNA from multiple organisms

circular piece of DNA located in bacteria, used in creating recombinant DNA

using cellular and biomolecular techniques and products to help improve our lives and the health of our planet

manipulating an organism's genome using biotechnology

a representation of parts used to identify a person at the molecular level

criminal cases, paternity cases, immigration requests, study biodiversity, locate genetically engineered crops

a living organism that exhibits a new property because a gene not normally present was inserted into it

these letters mean genetically modified organism

make crops insect resistant, drought tolerant, healthier, medicinal uses, and more

may cause unknown health problems, could impact natural ecosystem

these letters mean polymerase chain reaction

make millions of copies of DNA

DNA to be copied, DNA polymerase, A, T, G, C nucleotides, primers

separates different sized DNA pieces in a gel by running electricity through it.....DNA is charged so it moves....smaller pieces move further

negative

body cells that are undifferentiated that can become a similar kind of cell to where it is located

undifferentiated cell that can become any kind of cell

the specialization of cells from being a stem cell to becoming a specific type of cell

rice in Africa where vitamin A was added to help blindness, glowing fish, types of corn seedless watermelon, seedless grapes, more muscular pigs

research, paternity cases, criminal cases, determining size of DNA, comparing relatives, identifying whether an organism successfully received a new gene, etc.

some people feel you are killing a life by destroying the embryo while studying it

employer and insurance prejudging people based on their results

replacing faulty genes or missing genes or adding new genes....all to treat a disease

recombinant DNA (it is used to get the desired DNA into the organism)

the fact that different people have different lengths of DNA fragments

egg cells and somatic cells
