Biolo1100 Chapter 13 The New Biology
  1. Somatic cell nuclear   transfer is a technology used for reproductive   cloning of animals.





     
  2. Stem   cells offer the possibility of repairing damaged tissues through therapeutic   cloning.











     
  3. Genetic engineering is the process of moving genes   from one organism to another.

     
  4. Restriction   enzymes can be used to cut DNA at specific sites to produce recombinant   DNA.

     
  5. Polymerase   chain reaction (PCR) can be used to amplify small amounts of DNA.

     
  6. DNA fragments can be separated by gel electrophoresis   and used for DNA fingerprinting  .



     
  7. Genetic engineering has many medical applications and can be used to produce genetically modified ( GM   ) plants.











     
  8. The human genome   consist of almost 99% non-coding DNA.
