- Genetic Engineering Terms Name: Draw a line to connect each pair of boxes DNA sequencing The use of an organism, or a component of an organism or other biological system, to make a product or process. DNA cloning The sequencing, analysis, and cutting-and-pasting of DNA A technique to make many copies of a specific DNA region in vitro (in a test tube rather than anorganism) Recombinant DNA Polymerase chain reaction A technique used.to separatę DNA fragments according to their size Gel electrophoresis DNA that is assembled out of fragments from multiple sources Biotechnology A molecular biology technique that makes many identical copies of a piece of DNA, such as a gene DNA technology The process of determining the sequence of nucleotides (As, Ts, Cs, and Gs) in a piece of DNA. ww tİ6111749/enetic-engineering-temsarrow_forwardDeine the term genomics.arrow_forwardDo you think it is ethical (morals: right or wrong), safe, and helpful for scientists to continue with genetic engineering?
