HOSA Biotechnology Questions and
Answers (Expert Solutions)
Q: GLP, 🗹🗹: good laboratory practice. Required to ensure that products from
different countries have the same quality.
Q: Biotechnology, 🗹🗹: the use of modern molecular and microbial techniques to
make useful products or processes
Q: Biotechnology tools, 🗹🗹: can be biological, chemical, instrumentation, or
software
Q: Enzymes, 🗹🗹: cut and reattach DNA. this allows scientists to transfer DNA from
one organism to another so that the recipient organism can perform a new and useful
task
Q: Genetic Engineering, 🗹🗹: is the process of moving a gene from one organism and
expressing it in another. Genetically engineered bacteria and eukaryotic cells are
biological tools that are frequently used as factories to produce novel proteins
(recombinant proteins)
Q: Chromatography Resin, 🗹🗹: bind proteins based on particular properties of the
proteins, allowing them to be purified from other cellular components
Q: Spectrometer, 🗹🗹: measure the amount of light absorbed by a solution and are
used to quantitate bacteria, proteins, and DNA
Q: Thermo Cyclers, 🗹🗹: rapidly heat and cool tubes of DNA and enzymes, thereby
enabling rapid DNA replication by a technique called the polymerase chain reaction
(PCR)
