Ohio Biology EOC Review Questions and
Answers Verified by Experts
Where does translation occur? ribosome
Where does transcription occur? nucleus
genetic engineering Process of making changes in the DNA code of living organisms
What is the goal of genetic engineering? to produce organisms with new & improved
characteristics and correct a malfunction
What are restriction enzymes? They cut the DNA into specific parts
What is cloning used for? Cloning can be used to make a copy of a particularly good
strain of plant
, What is gene therapy? the transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing
or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders.
What is gel electrophoresis? the separation of charges molecules using an electric field
What are three types of genetic engineering? Cloning, gene therapy, gel electrophoresis
how do the order of bases affect the protein made? the order of bases in a section of
DNA decides the order of amino acids in the protein. these amino acids then fold to produce
specifically shaped proteins such as enzymes
Why must DNA be able to make copies of itself? For the organism to grow and use DNA
in different cells for unique functions.
Compare and contrast the genetic makeup of two different cells in the SAME organism.
The DNA will be identical in both cells, but different genes in each cell are used.
