• Gene/Sequence of Interest - A piece of DNA that codes for a protein we want more of. (ex. the gene for human insulin) • Plasmid – circular piece of DNA found in bacteria • Recombinant DNA – DNA produced by combining DNA samples from different organisms. http: //img. blogcu. com/uploads/kedicikkopekcik_insrton. jpg
Restriction Enzymes: Enzymes that cut DNA at certain sequences. http: //www. accessexcellence. org/RC/VL/GG/images/restriction. gif
Transformation: • The changing of one strain of bacteria into another strain. • This process can be completed using other organisms like plants. http: //www. anselm. edu/homepage/jpitocch/genbio/plantplasmidtechn. JPG
Transgenic Organisms: Any organism whose genome incorporates and expresses genes from another organism of the same or a different species. http: //images. google. com/imgres? imgurl=http: //www. umaine. edu/bmmb/images/faculty/mayerrsrch 3. jpg&imgrefurl=http: //www. umaine. edu/bmmb/facult y/index. php/profile/greg_mayer&h=508&w=640&sz=126&hl=en&start=32&tbnid=3 Fr.
