DNA Technology Vocab.
Plasmid
• ring of DNA in a bacterium
Restriction Enzymes
• scissors that cut DNA at certain bases
Sticky Ends
• the picture explains it
Cleave
• split, cut
Splice
• to join together, in this case DNA
Recombinant DNA
• DNA combined from two or more sources
Cloning Vector
• Carries foreign DNA into a host cell, like a
vehicle
• Ex.-plasmids, bacteriophages, gene gun,
micropipette
Transgenic Organism
• Organism containing foreign DNA added
by genetic engineering
DNA Fingerprinting
• a person’s genetic fingerprint
Gel Electrophoresis
• making a DNA fingerprint
PCR
• polymerase chain reaction, makes lots of
copies of DNA from a small sample
Selective Breeding/Artificial Selection
• choosing phenotypes
Clones
• producing genetically identical organisms
Genetic Engineering
• manipulation of an organism’s genes
Gene Therapy
• inserting genes to treat diseases
