1
New cards

Selective Breeding

When organisms are chosen to breed together in order to produce desired traits/characteristics in the offspring.

2
New cards

Downsides of S.B.

Slow processs. And can have negatve effects on the organism.

3
New cards

Restrictive Enzyme/Endonuclease

Allows for cutting of DNA at specific “restriction” sites, which contain specific sequences of bases

4
New cards

Gel Electrophoresis

Tool used by scientists to seperate DNA into “bands” of different length. These “bands” are compaired among different people.

5
New cards

Allele

Versions of a gene

6
New cards

Dominant

Always expressed over the recessive allele

7
New cards

codominance

when a trait is decided by alleles that share dominance

8
New cards

genotype

allele combination an organism has

9
New cards

phenotype

organisms’s appearance

10
New cards

Reccessive

an allele that is not expressed when a dominant allele is present.

11
New cards

Punnett square

used to model the possible offspring genotypes form a genetic cross

12
New cards

homozygous

have the same allels in their gene combination ex. FrFr

13
New cards

heterozygous

has 2 different alleles for their gene combination ex. FrFw

14
New cards

The bigger the sample size, or number of trials, …

the less room for error

15
New cards

polymerase chain reaction

speeds up DNA replication, produces a lot of DNA

16
New cards

DNA extraction

when everything other than DNA is removed from a cell

17
New cards

Positive and Negative Terminals in Electrophoresis

DNA has a negative charge, so when the gel is electrified, the DNA fragmentsmove towards the positive charge. THe material is porous, and smaller fragments are able to move faster than the larger fragments.

18
New cards

Restrictive Enzymes

“restrictive scissors” that cut at palindromal sites

19
New cards

Blunt end

when the restrictive enzyme cuts through the DNA leaveing two pieces

20
New cards

Sticky end

when the restrictive enzyme cuts through the DNA in a way that cuts through hydrogen bonds.

21
New cards

Hoe111

produces blunt end cuts

22
New cards

Ecor1

produces sticky end cuts

23
New cards

Ways sticky ends can be used

DNA fragments with stickey ends can be combined to create new molecules which allows the creation and new manipulation of DNA sequences from different sources

24
New cards

Example of natural clones

identical twins

25
New cards

Artificial Embryo Twinning

Process that mimics the natural process of embryo splitting. The early embryo is split into 2 indivisual cells ina petri dish. It is then placed into a surrogate mother.

26
New cards

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer

The nucleus and DNA from an egg cell is removed. IT is replaced with one from a somatic cell, from the organism to be cloned. This creates a freshly fertilized egg. It can be developed until it is an embryo, until it is planted inside a surrogate mother.

27
New cards

Enucleated

When the nucleus is removed from the cell.

28
New cards

What needs to happen to the somatic DNA in the egg cell?

The somatic DNA needs to adjust to the enviroment. It needs to be “reprogrammed” to behave as egg cell DNA.

29
New cards

How is the egg cell stimulated into Mitosis?

A liquid chemical that mimics the cellular events when an egg cell is fertilized by a sperm cell. This liquid causes the cell to divide alot.

30
New cards

Morula

A ball of cells that results from ferlitization of an egg cell.
