A.      Forming recombinant DNA:

1)      Take “gene of interest” from one organism and__________ into the ____________of the organism you wish to alter.

2)      ______________ an unwanted gene from an organism.

 

Transgenic Organism/Genetically Modified Organism (GMO):

An organism whose __________ material has been ____________ or altered

 

 

 

 


B.      Forming a transgenic organism

1)      Insert the “gene of interest” by using a ___________.

2)      Two types of vectors: ________ vector and bacterial _____________.

 

 

 


C.      Using bacterial plasmids to form Recombinant DNA

1)      Remove plasmid from a bacterial cell

2)     

The plasmid is cut using _____________________.

 

·         ______  ______ form at both ends of the plasmid.

 

 

 

             

3)      The ______ ___ ________ (transgene) is removed from

the cell by restrictions enzymes.                                                                                                            

 

·         Sticky ends form at both ends

of the ____________.

 

 

 

 

 

4)
