DNA strand made from eukaryotic RNA
Virus that infects bacteria
using reverse transcriptase
Protective enzymes found naturally in
Palindrome sequences on DNA that are
bacteria that recognize palindromes
recognized by restriction enyzmes
and cut DNA into fragments with
“sticky ends”
Improperly shaped proteins that can
DNA polymerase isolated from a
cause infectious diseases such as
thermophilic archaebacteria that can
scrapie, BSE, and kuru
withstand the high temps of PCR
Small, self-replicating loops of DNA
Enzyme used to join “sticky ends” of
found in bacteria that may contain
DNA fragments cut with restriction
genes for antibiotic resistance and
endonucleases
conjugation
Viral DNA that is incorporated into
Enzyme found in RNA viruses that
host DNA during the lysogenic
catalyzes the production of DNA from
lifecycle
an RNA template
Small pieces complementary to DNA
Infectious agent consisting of a nucleic acid
used to start the strand when copying
(DNA/RNA Double/single stranded) and a
the DNA segment to be amplified using
protein coat
PCR
Virus that contains RNA and the enzyme
The differences in DNA between individuals
reverse transcriptase surrounded by a
that result in restriction enzymes cutting in
bilayer envelope made from host
different places and making fragments
