BIOTECHNOLOGY "manipulation of organisms or their genetic compound"

Types of Cells

Totipotent "cell that can generate a new organism"

Transgenic "organism that has DNA that's been artificially introduced"

Genetically Modified Organisms "organisms where the DNA has been altered"

Stem Cell "can reproduce itself indefinitely"

STRs "variations in repeats of DNA sequences"

Gene Therapy "alteration of an afflicted individual's genes"

SNP "single base-pair sites"

Recombinant DNA "nucleotide sequences from 2 sources

Genetic Engineering "direct manipulation of genes"
