Biotechnology Test
biotechnology - Answer -manipulation of living organisms or their components to produce useful
products.
cloning vector - Answer -a carrier used to transfer a gene from one organism to another in genetic
engineering (a virus, or recombinant plasmid)
DNA fingerprint - Answer -a pattern of bands on an electrophoresis gel, made up of restriction fragments
of someone's DNA; can be used to identify a person at the molecular level
DNA ligase - Answer -an enzyme that ties the ends of inserted DNA in genetic engineering (or Okazaki
fragments in DNA replication)
gel electrophoresis - Answer -separation of DNA fragments on the basis of their length and electrical
charge
gene cloning - Answer -production of multiple copies of a gene.
gene therapy - Answer -insertion of normal genes into human cells to correct genetic disorders
genetic engineering - Answer -direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes.
