New Version!!
what are transposons? - ..........ANSWER.......- small segments of
DNA that can move from one chromosome to another
- in both bacteria and eukaryotes
restriction enzymes - ..........ANSWER.......- a special class of DNA
cutting enzymes that exists in many bacteria
- protect a bacterial cell by hydrolyzing phage DNA
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) - ..........ANSWER.......-
technique by which small samples of DNA can be quickly
amplified - increased to quantities that are large enough for
analysis
,2|Page
- starting with just one gene sized piece of DNA, PCR can be used
to make billions of copies in only a few hours
taxonomy - ..........ANSWER.......- the science of classifying living
organisms
- similar organisms are placed in the same taxa (group)
systemics or phylogeny - ..........ANSWER.......- the study of the
evolutionary history of a group of organisms
- phylogenic relationship: organism with a common ancestor
