Bacillus Thuringiensis
2 of 18
Molecules found in plants that have antioxidant effects
flavonoids
3 of 18
thought to protect against cancers and heart disease
antioxidants
4 of 18
A pathogen that invades plant cells and inserts its DNA into the plants DNA
Agrobacterium Tumefaciens
5 of 18
Two different bits of DNA stuck together
Recombinant DNA
6 of 18
Cuts the gene out and cuts open the plasmid. Recognises specific sequences of DNA
Restriction Enzyme
7 of 18
contains a gene transferred from another species
Transgenic
8 of 18
a loop of DNA
plasmid
9 of 18
An enzyme that joins sticky ends together
Ligase
10 of 18
When a sperm cell fuses with an egg cell
fertilisation
11 of 18
Monthly release of egg and build up and break down of the uterus lining
menstrual cycle
12 of 18
causes follicle to mature in the ovary and stimulates oestrogen production
FSH
13 of 18
Causes uterus lining to thicken and grow, high levels stimulate LH surge
oestrogen
14 of 18
A surge stimulates ovulation where follicle ruptures and egg is released, then stimulates the follicle to develop into a corpus luteum
LH
15 of 18
maintains uterus lining, inhibits production of FSH and LH, low levels of this and oestrogen cause uterus lining to break down, low level also allowsFSH to increase starting the cycle again
progesterone
16 of 18
secreates progesterone
corpus luteum
17 of 18
supplies oxygen, glucose and nutrient to the baby and removes waste products like urea and carbon dioxide
placenta
