Premises:

Responses:

short tandem repeat

Any technique applied to biological systems or living organisms to make or modify products or processes for a specific purpose.

genetic engineering

This term is used to describe organisms that have been modified to contain genetic information from an external source.

PCR

This technique is used to separate DNA molecules based on their relative sizes.

recombinant DNA

DNA technology used to alter genes in a cell or organism.

restriction endonucleases

Short 2-6 bp sequences repeated in series.

biotechnology

This procedure can be described as a photocopy machine for specific DNA sequences.

restriction fragments

An international agreement on the safe use and handling of GMOs.

Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety

The products of restriction endonuclease action.

agarose gel electrophoresis

Bacterial enzymes that recognize and cut specific DNA sequences.

DNA fingerprinting

Using STR loci, this technique revealed that the source of Dolly's genomic DNA was the ewe who supplied the mammary cell

transgenic

DNA from two different sources that have been joined together into a single molecule.
