Chapter 12: Biotechnology and
Genomics Study Guide Exam
the procedure used to determine the order of nucleotides in a segment of DNA is called DNA
_____, and may involve attaching dyes to the nucleotides and detecting them with a laser. -
Answer sequencing
a process that uses noncoding sections of DNA in order to identify individuals is known as DNA
____ - Answer fingerprinting
genome editing is a relatively new biotechnology used to - Answer target specific DNA
sequences for removal or replacement
what is the role of Cas9 in the CRISPR method of genome editing? - Answer breaking both
viral DNA strands at specific nucleotides in the genome to inactive the virus
the process that compares DNA fragments, resulting from restriction enzyme cleavage, to
identify relatedness between organisms - Answer DNA fingerprinting
cell types that are differentiated - Answer liver cell & specialized cell
type of cloning seeks to produce an individual that is genetically identical to the parent
organism - Answer reproductive
reproductive cloning - Answer produced a genetically identical individual
therapeutic cloning - Answer produces specialized tissue cells
which is true of animals produced by reproductive cloning as compared to naturally born
animals - Answer they are not as healthy
T or F: the main goal of therapeutic cloning is to produce organisms that could supply organs for
xenotransplantation. - Answer false
Embryonic stem cells are totipotent, meaning that they - Answer have the potential to
become any other type of cell in an organism
