6. Biotechnology Biotechnology is the manipulation of organisms or their components to provide useful products or perform practical tasks

7. DNA Cloning Produces gene-sized pieces of DNA in multiple identical copies. Plasmids, circular DNA pieces separate from the main chromosome, are used Human growth hormone is mass-produced this way

9. Restriction Enzymes Cut up DNA into fragments after a certain base sequence is recognized

12. Polymerase Chain Reaction Also called PCR. Method of copying small samples of DNA multiple times. Involves heating of DNA strands (denaturing) and cooling. Nucleotides and primers in solution initiate replication.

14. Gel Electrophoresis Used to separate small DNA fragments (typically treated first with restriction enzymes) on the basis of their mass and charge Heavier fragments travel more slowly down the gel than lighter fragments

17. Southern Blotting Enables researchers to detect whether certain DNA sequences exist in a sample. Bands from electrophoresis are “blotted” onto a special paper, and treated with a radioactive DNA single strand. The radioactive strand binds with any complementary strand

19. Sanger Method Used to determine the nucleotide sequence of DNA. DNA fragments and primers, and special modified nucleotides (dd) used. DNA sequence can be read off of gel.
