Restriction enzyme - Answers Scissors
Cuts the DNA at a specific sequence
probes - Answers Small pieces of DNA that are radioactive and will glow
Helps identify DNA
Used to find silicates between two DNA strands
Polymerase chain reaction - Answers A method to quickly copy a small DNA sample
DNA profiling can be used for what - Answers Crime
Paternity test
Disease
Gel Electrophoresis - Answers Separates DNA fragments by size
Paternity test requires an exact match or half and half - Answers Half and half
Crime requires an exact match or half and half - Answers Exact
Disease requires an exact match or half and half - Answers Exact
Recognition site - Answers Where the retraction enzyme cuts
Recombinant DNA - Answers DNA from two or more different organism is combined
Steps of Recombinant DNA - Answers Treat DNA from both sources with restriction enzyme
The enzyme will cut both molecules so they have complementary sticky ends
Two pieces of DNA will be linked by DNA ligase
Recombinant DNA is made
Which part of bacteria is used in recombinant DNA - Answers Plasmid a.k.a the circular DNA
, How is bacteria used in recombinant DNA - Answers The plasmid of bacteria is usually used since the
bacteria don't really need it and since testing on bacteria is better than testing on animals
Recombinant DNA uses - Answers Making blood proteins, hormones, vaccines, pharmaceuticals
Cloning genes
Gene therapy
DNA profiling - Answers DNA is removed and cut with the restriction enzyme
DNA is mixed with radioactive probes
DNA is put on a well of the gel
The gel is put in an electrophoresis chamber with the wells at a negative end
Electricity is run through the gel and the DNA moves towards the positive end (DNA is negative and
opposites attract)
Probed pieces glow on the gel
The _______ the molecule the farther down it will move because it's ________ - Answers Smaller faster
What is used to find the sequence of nucleotides in a nuclei acid - Answers DNA profiling
DNA profiling uses - Answers Diagnosis and treatment of disease
Gene therapy
Agriculture (GMOs)
Restriction enzyme - Answers Scissors
