2 Genetic Engineering  Direct manipulation of an organism’s genes

3 Cloning

4  Different types  Reproductive Cloning  Used to create animals that have the same nuclear DNA as a current or existing animal

5 Dolly

7 Therapeutic Cloning Stem Cells  Found in multi-cellular organisms  Have the ability to divide (mitosis) and differentiate into various types of cells  Could be used to grow tissue to be used by humans

8 Transgenic Animals  Carries a gene from another organism  Usually implanted into stem cells

9 DNA Fingerprinting  Sorts DNA fragments by size  Used to compare DNA for crimes/forensic science and paternity tests
