Chapter 5 Bio Rad

An organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced

(genetics) modification of a cell or bacterium by the uptake and incorporation of exogenous DNA

Transferring DNA

A temporary union of two organisms for the purpose of DNA transfer.

transfer of DNA from one cell to another by a bacteriophage

protein product of a gene derived by molecular cloning

Circular DNA molecules that can replicate independently of the main chromosomes of bacteria

Name for the plasmid that contains the jellyfish gene and the ampicillin resistant gene

green fluorescent protein (from jellyfish)

stands for transfer of DNA, Fertility Factor, and Functional Protein Group

polymerase chain reaction

is used to copy and amplify minute quantities of DNA/

A region of DNA with a specific sequence that tells RNA polymerase where to begin transcription.

genetically modified organism

crops that carry new traits that have been inserted through advanced genetic engineering methods

single-celled organisms that lack a nucleus; prokaryotes

Enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides

allows plasmid to replicate independently form the bacterial chromosome

useful for making many copies of a particular gene and for producing gene products (protein or RNA)

first cloned mammal

A hormone produced by the pancreas or taken as a medication by many diabetics

Was one of the first recombinant proteins used for pharmaceutical application.

plasmid

A chemical secreted by a living organism that kills or reduces the reproduction rate of other organisms

the ability of bacteria to withstand the effects of an antibiotic

A type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction in a living thing

number of colonies that were successfully transformed with the plasmid

The liquid on top of material deposited by settling or centrifugation.

Size standard or DNA ladder
