DNA Fingerprinting

?
What is the first stage in DNA fingerprinting
collect a DNA sample
1 of 13
What is the second stage in DNA fingerprinting
Fragment DNA with restriction enzymes
2 of 13
What is the third stage in DNA fingerprinting
"load" fragments into a gel, run an electric current through the gel. DNA is negitive and will move to the positive end
3 of 13
What is the fourth stage in DNA fingerprinting
smaller fragments move faster creating a band pattern on the gel, then you read the pattern

whats the first step in engineering bacteria to produce insulin
identify the gene which controls the production of insulin
5 of 13
Whats step 2
remove the DNA from the cell by cutting it out with a restriction enzyme. DNA is left with sticky ends
6 of 13
Whats step 3
a loop of bacterial DNA (a plasmid) is cut open with the same restriction enzyme so it has sticky ends to
7 of 13
what is step 4
the insulin is inserted in the plasmid, the sticky ends allow another enzyme (ligase) to join DNA strands together
8 of 13
what are the four stages of infectious disease
1) micro-orgaism enters the body 2) reproduces rapidly 3) toxins are produced 4) toxins cause symptoms
9 of 13
whats the first stage in viruses reproducing
virus attaches itself to a specific host cell where it injects its genetic material
10 of 13
whats stage 2
virus then uses the host cell to make the components of a new virus
11 of 13
whats stage 3
the host cell splits open releasing the new virus
12 of 13
how do bacteria reproduce
binary fission
