Study Notes
Biotechnology Techniques
- Artificial Selection: a process where humans intentionally breed organisms to produce desired traits, leading to changes in the population's characteristics.
- Cloning: a technique used to create an exact genetic replica of an organism, involving the creation of a genetically identical copy of an individual.
- Gene Splicing: a molecular biology technique where a gene is taken from one organism and inserted into the DNA of another, allowing for the transfer of genetic information.
- DNA Sequencing: a process used to determine the order of nucleotide bases (A, C, G, and T) that make up an organism's DNA, allowing for the identification of genetic information.
- Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): a laboratory technique used to amplify specific DNA sequences, generating millions of copies of a target DNA sequence, allowing for analysis and manipulation.
