13
Define primer
Short single strand of DNA
One binds to start and one binds to end
One binds to start and one binds to end
14
Define in vivo cloning
DNA fragments added to DNA as it grows and divides, replicating the foreign DNA
15
Example of in vitro cloning
PCR
16
Define vector
DNA carrier used to transfer DNA into cells
17
Examples of vectors
Plasmids in bacteria
Virus
Virus
18
Name for type of DNA formed from vector DNA and inserted DNA fragment
Recombinant DNA
19
Definemarker gene
Gêne inserted into vector which gives organism specific characteristic that can be used to identify the organism or if the insertion of a gene was successful
20
3 advantages of in vivo cloning
Clones large DNA fragments
Produces proteins / MRNA from the DNA
Produces only exons
Produces proteins / MRNA from the DNA
Produces only exons
21
3 advantages of in vitro cloning
Quicker - millions produced within hours
Only replicates target DNA (isolation not needed)
Can copy partly broken down DNA
Only replicates target DNA (isolation not needed)
Can copy partly broken down DNA
