Genetic Engineering Technology

Subject : engineering
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • 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. Not obvious - Have a use - be novel






2. First cloned and expressed in bacteria - was effective because it DOES NOT require glycosylation - and so did not need 'eukaryotic- specific' post- translational modifications






3. Plasmids that are successfully engineered are white - If the gene is blue it is not effected - White colonies are inserted into the clone of DNA on Bgal site - Allows for detection of successful ligation (in vector- based gene cloning)






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






5. The nucleotide sequences are present in the initial mRNA transcript but are excised prior to translation






6. 1-6 nucleotide repeats throughout the chromosome - 13 unique STRs used by the FBI for testing (CODIS)






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






8. 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 (






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






10. Amniotic fluid- derived stem cells - Coaxed to become other cells






11. Fusion of two protoplast cells from different species: hybrid plant






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






13. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service - branch of USDA - protects agriculture from pest and diseases - permits for developing gmo's






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






15. Responsible for the standard of treatment for laboratory animals






16. Food and Drug Administration - in charge of processed foods and medication - oversees the lab practices - phase testing of drugs - drug - food items - cosmetics






17. RFLP and PCR






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






19. Stretch of DNA with recognition sequences for various types of restriction enzymes - In plasmid - Allows for range of DNA fragments to be cloned in the plasmid






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






21. 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






22. 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






23. Adult- dervied stem cells - Can differentiate but not as pluripotent as hESCs






24. HESC - ASCs - AFS - iPS






25. Small group - 20-80 SAFETY - to establish dose range and side effects;






26. Injection into the organism






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






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






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






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






31. Greatest good for the greatest number






32. 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






33. Scaffolds - cells - cultivation

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






35. Antigens are foreign substances that stimulate an immune response






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






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






38. Short stretched of DNA with single base pair changes (wildtype) - Short length allows distinguishing which allele is present - Allows the probe to stay attached to the target DNA - Perfectly matched will cause a signal






39. A problem with gene therapy






40. Induced pluripotent stem cells - nuclear reprogrammed somatic cells






41. Isolate cells - inject gene - then reimplant cell






42. It sequentially breaks down toxic compounds - eventually to water and CO2






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






44. DNA copy of an mRNA molecule expressed in a cell






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






46. 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






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






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






49. Cut small discs of leaf - culture in genetically modified agrobacter - Leaf discs are treated with hormones






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