6581907449DNA produced by combining DNA from different sourcesRecombinant DNA0
6581907450A form of technology that uses living organisms, usually genes, to modify products, to make or modify plants and animals, or to develop other microorganisms for specific purposes.Biotechnology1
6581907451Small rings of DNA found naturally in some bacterial cells in addition to the main bacterial chromosome. Can contain genes for antibiotic resistance, or other "contingency" functions.Plasmids2
6581907452The production of multiple copies of a gene.Gene Cloning3
6581907453Enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotidesRestriction enzymes4
6581907454A single-stranded end of a double-stranded DNA restriction fragment.Sticky end5
6581907455A linking enzyme essential for DNA replication; catalyzes the covalent bonding of the 3' end of a new DNA fragment to the 5' end of a growing chain.DNA Ligase6
6581907456DNA molecules that can carry foreign DNA into a host cell and replicate there.Cloning vector7
6581907457DNA library of only the coding regions of a gene, made from mRNA by reverse transcriptaseComplimentary DNA (cDNA)8
6581907458A method of producing thousands of copies of DNA segment using the enzyme DNA polymerasepolymerase chain reaction (PCR)9
6581907459Procedure used to separate and analyze DNA fragments by placing a mixture of DNA fragments at one end of a porous gel and applying an electrical voltage to the gelgel electrophoresis10
6581907460An enzyme encoded by some viruses (retroviruses) that uses RNA as a template for DNA synthesis.reverse transcriptase11
6581907461An individual's unique set of genetic markers, detected most often today by PCR or, previously, by electrophoresis and nucleic acid probes.Genetic profile12
