| 6370473447 | DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources | Recombinant DNA |  | 0 |
| 6370473448 | A 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. | Biotechnology |  | 1 |
| 6370473449 | Small 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. | Plasmids |  | 2 |
| 6370473450 | The production of multiple copies of a gene. | Gene Cloning |  | 3 |
| 6370473451 | Enzyme that cuts DNA at a specific sequence of nucleotides | Restriction enzymes |  | 4 |
| 6370473452 | A single-stranded end of a double-stranded DNA restriction fragment. | Sticky end |  | 5 |
| 6370473453 | A 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 Ligase |  | 6 |
| 6370473454 | DNA molecules that can carry foreign DNA into a host cell and replicate there. | Cloning vector |  | 7 |
| 6370473455 | DNA library of only the coding regions of a gene, made from mRNA by reverse transcriptase | Complimentary DNA (cDNA) |  | 8 |
| 6370473456 | A method of producing thousands of copies of DNA segment using the enzyme DNA polymerase | polymerase chain reaction (PCR) |  | 9 |
| 6370473457 | Procedure 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 gel | gel electrophoresis |  | 10 |
| 6370473459 | An enzyme encoded by some viruses (retroviruses) that uses RNA as a template for DNA synthesis. | reverse transcriptase |  | 11 |
| 6370473460 | An individual's unique set of genetic markers, detected most often today by PCR or, previously, by electrophoresis and nucleic acid probes. | Genetic profile |  | 12 |
