BIOLOGY BIOTECHNOLOGY TEST
biotechnology definition - Answer -the use of living things/processes to improve our lives
traditional practices - Answer -yeast-bread, bacteria/fungi-medicine, leather making
genetic engineering - Answer -manipulation of genes/chromosomes to produce a product, new species,
or evaluate the genes
Genetic engineering produces recombinant DNA - Answer -Dna combined in a new sequence - hybrid of
2 organisms
when recombinant DNA is introduced to an organism, it produces __________________, one that has
its original DNA and foreign DNA - Answer -transgenic organisms
A vector is selected - Answer -vehicle to transport DNA into a new organism
Bacteria is a good vector because it contains PLASMIDS(define) - Answer -rings of DNA, separate from
genes that are needed, can be removed without harming homeostasis
Restriction Enzyme - Answer -genetic scissors, enzyme designed to cut up DNA-cut at the palindrome to
isolate DNA or open plasmid
Palindrome (recognition site) - Answer -genetic sequence thats same forward and backwards
