Genetic Engineering Technology

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes. 2 minutes extra for reading the instructions.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. 2 -00-5 -000 base pairs






2. Genes allow for selection and identification of bacteria that has been modified (undergone recombination)






3. Restriction fragment length polymorphism: used in fingerprinting - Requires larger amount of DNA - Can not degrade






4. Humans are more likely to generate an unwanted immune response to the mouse version of the antibody than to the humanized version






5. Injection into the organism






6. Allows for transcription of RNA (in vivo and in vitro) by RNA polymerase






7. Chemically - Mechanically - New ways to take from levis






8. Responsible for growing and farming practices






9. Focuses on certain absolute principles which should follow out of sense of duty and should dictate our actions






10. Greatest good for the greatest number






11. Advancement and regulation of agriculture - pests - plants and vet biologics - growing and farming practices






12. VNTR's (variable number tandem repeats) and Subsets (STR short tandem repeats (CODIS))






13. Must be able to define its specific utility (must know exactly what it does... specifically) - show its substantial utility (real world use) - meet the credible utility requirement (be backed by sound science) - and not be similar to something else (






14. Is produced by a hybridoma (the fusion of a mature b- cell and an 'immortal' myeloma cancer cell - Is a single type of antibody that cross - reacts to only one target - one portion of the antigen against which it was made - Are generally much more sp






15. Expensive - have short life spans (short telomeres) - cloned from previous animals age






16. Find genes that are associated with a disease - Find unknown means of infection - Find new targets for drugs and vaccines






17. Composition of matter (chemical union) - Method - Article of Manufacture - Machine






18. Protective cold- induced proteins from fish that live in very cold climates






19. Genetically type biological tissue - identify matching pairs (that cause undesirable traits in offspring) - and can show these traits early in development - check for curly calf syndrome - water head - fawn calf syndrome - dwarfism - dsytocia - and c






20. Informed consent is required: must know the risks (not actually receiving the drug)






21. HESC - ASCs - AFS - iPS






22. Used in fingerprinting - Less DNA and can be slightly degraded - Extremely sensitive to contaminating DNA






23. Short reproductive cycles - similar physiology to humans - sufficient database of knowledge about the organisms genetics - don't have dorsal fins and rows of large sharp teeth - they produce a relatively large number of offspring






24. Tested on those with disease - 100-300 EFFICACY






25. Only 1/100th of DNA differs from person to person






26. Recognize and bind to the antigen - Each individual cell has ONE antibody - First exposure to a foreign protein: B- cells cross - react to the protein - proliferate - and produce antibodies against the protein






27. The target antigen (protein) for the vaccine is more easily selected and the vaccines can be generated much faster in microbes than in eggs






28. IPS (induced pluripotent) - ESC (embryonic stem cells - and ASC (adult stem cells






29. Prevent crops from freezing (ice-) - slow the breakdown of food (tomatoes) - create pesticides to stop infestations






30. To create or modulate tissue to replace or augment diseased or damaged tissue






31. Done after treatment has been marketed and used - studied in various populations






32. Component of the cloning vector that allows for the selection of those bacteria colonies that actually were transformed by the vector






33. Responsible for the standard of treatment for laboratory animals






34. Sequences that allows the nucleotide sequencing of cloned DNA fragments that are inserted into the plasmid






35. The site for DNA replication that allows the plasmids to replicate separately from the host cell's chromosome - component of cloning vector that allows it to replicate itself inside a bacterial cell






36. Cell consistency - Scaffold design and prep - Bioreactor design - Producing in the right size - Time of production - Clinical use - Regulatory approval - Ethical questions






37. Both for reproductive cloning and therapeutic cloning - treat leukemia: create white blood cell - sickle cell anemia: cord blood - form bone in skull: fat cells - repair heart cells - neuron creation






38. Isolate cells - inject gene - then reimplant cell






39. 1 -000-3 -000 (double- blind) - COMPARITIVE BENEFIT TO OTHER CURRENT DRUGS - confirm effectiveness - monitor side effects - compare to used treatments - and collect info -






40. Turn off specific genes






41. Responsible for the control of pesticides - herbicides - etc






42. Introduced as a sedative in 50's - caused birth defects - caused stricter regulations testing before drugs and pesticides were licensed






43. Embryo twinning (split embyos in half) - cloned from adult DNA






44. Scaffolds - cells - cultivation


45. US Patent and Trademark Office - only one required by the constitution - oversees patenting






46. Environmental Protection Agency - protecting endangered species to establishing emission standards for cars - regulates pesticides and herbicides - gmo's with pest resistance - monitors pesticide levels to ensure safe eating levels - the control of p






47. The act that started the clean up of sites that had hazardous substances






48. Not obvious - Have a use - be novel






49. National Institute of Health - foremost medical research center - makes important health discoveries






50. Pieces of DNA that can accept carry and replicate other pieces of DNA
