Work Step by Step
The following are some of the genetic engineering terms and their corresponding description:
Gene amplification- The addition of plasmids to microorganisms in order to increase the yield of useful gene products;
Genetic engineering- manipulation of genetic material to alter an organism's characteristics;
Protoplast fusion- Combines organisms without cell walls, allowing them to mix their genetic information;
Restriction endonucleases- Enzyme that recognizes specific sequences of 4 to 8 base pairs of DNA where it then cuts across to create a restriction fragment;
Genetic fusion- Allows the transposition and joining of genes from two separate genes that
were originally located at different positions on the chromosome;
Transgenic- Results when a new DNA is produced by taking genes from one kind of organism and introducing them into the genome of another different organism.
