Genetics and Genetic Engineering terms clones organisms or cells of nearly identical genetic makeup derived from a single source complementary containing structures that match or bond with related structures electrophoresis technique used to separate migrating molecules in an electrical field Expression the appearance of a trait directed by a gene Codon (Genetic code) a series of three nucleotide bases that determine the amino acid order and the proteins formed in cell reproduction Transgenic a cell or organism that harbors another organism or DNA from a foreign source. Genetic Engineering technology involved in removing, modifying, or adding genes to a DNA molecule Ligase enzyme used to join two pieces of DNA Mutation a heritable change in genetic makeup Nucleotides building blocks of nucleic acid composed of a sugar, a phosphate and a nitrogenous base Plasmid a small, usually circular, piece of DNA that is separate from the chromosomal DNA Polymerase an enzyme that joins nucleotides to make nucleic acid Recombinant DNA DNA that has been altered by genetic engineering Restriction enzyme restriction endonuclease enzyme that cuts DNA strands at specific sites sequence order of nucleotides or amino acids template a pattern used for developing a complementary structure trait a characteristic resulting from gene expression transform to change the genetic makeup of an organism by alteration of the DNA vector an agent such as a plasmid used to transfer DNA into a host cell Complex Organism higher organism an organism with cells, tissues, and organs arranged to function as a single unit ex. Plants, animals, humans cell membrane delicate structure that surrounds the cell Cytoplasm cell fluid containing all cell structures Nucleus control center of a cell contains most of the DNA Chromosomes structures that are physical carriers of genes made up of DNA are located in cell nucleus Ribosome site where new proteins are produced result of genetic expression Genetic engineering technology involved in removing, modifying, or adding genes to a DNA molecule Genetic engineering movement of a gene from one organism to another Other names recombinant DNA technology recombinant DNA science gene transfer gene splicing gene cloning Naturally occurring alterations in the genetic makeup of plants and animals allow them to respond to changes in their environment Naturally occurring some bacteria and viruses change the function of cells by inserting their DNA into the DNA of the cell Scientific Gen eng. Scientists have developed the ability to transfer genetic material from one organism to another Scientific Gen eng. Plasmids found in some organisms can be engineered to accept DNA from other sources Scientific Gen eng. Restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA at specific sites cut ends of plasmid rings can accept pieces of DNA from other organisms Scientific Gen eng. The ability to cut and splice DNA segments is providing many opportunities for changing the function of organisms
