Medical intervention EOC Exam Questions And
Accurate Answers (A+)
Amniocentesis - Answer a procedure used in fetal diagnosis in which fetal cells are
removed from the amniotic fluid
anneal - Answer The pairing of strands of DNA through hydrogen bonding.
Carrier Screening - Answer Testing a person for a specific gene
Chorionic villus Sampling (CVS) - Answer a test used to find genetic defects that
involves taking samples of hairlike material that surrounds the enbryo
gene - Answer a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
genetic testing - Answer the use of tests to diagnose or predict the presence of or
susceptibility to genetic conditions in individuals considered to be at high risk for a
particular disorder, based on clinical symptoms, family history, or a positive genetic
screen
genotype - Answer the genetic makeup of an organism
karyotype - Answer A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell arranged in pairs
newborn screening - Answer tests performed to help early detection of disease,
especially genetic disorders, at birth
phenotype - Answer physical characteristics of an organism
PCR - Answer technique that makes many copies of a certain segment of DNA without
, using living cells
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis-a technique that permits testing of an embryo
produced through in vitro fertilization for genetic diseases before it is implanted into the
uterus
primer-Answer a short nucleotide sequence that serves as a starting point for DNA
synthesis
restriction enzyme-Answer enzyme that cuts dna at a particular nucleotide sequence.
single nucleotide polymorphism - Answer differences in homologous DNA sequences
manifested as different lengths of restriction fragments when the DNA is cut up by a
restriction enzyme
supernatant-Answer liquid material left above pellet after centrifugation
TAQ polymerase-Answer heat resistant enzyme that extends primers from 5' to 3' ends
in PCR
Thermal cycler- Answer an instrument used to complete PCR reactions; automatically
cycles through different temperatures
ultrasonography- Answer using the reflections of high-frequency sound waves to
construct an image of a body organ (a sonogram)
cloning- Answer Using a somatic cell from a multicellular organism to make one or more
genetically identical individuals.
gene therapy - Answer a technique to insert a normal copy of a gene into a living cell to
cure a genetic disorder or to add new genetic information to the genome
