- 18PalindromicThe symmetrical order of bases that allows the restriction enzymes to cut at the front and back/can be read backwards and forwards due to DNA's complementry base pairing
- 19Blunt endsEnds which do not have free single stranded nucleotides at the site it was cut with a restriction enzyme
- 20DNA ligaseStabilize the recombined molecule by forming the phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotides
- 21Restriction fragment length polymorphismsVariations in DNA fragments that result from mutations, which can be detected using restriction enzymes and probes to determine these variations between the DNA of individuals
- 22Gel electrophoresisTechnique for separating fragments of DNA along a gel according to size, driven by a voltage drop
- 23Southern BlotAlso known as hybridization.
A process in which DNA fragments are hybridized to a radioactive probe so that they may be identified - 24Gene therapyA genetic engineering procedure designed to correct a genetic disorder.
A healthy gene is produced to take the place of the non-functional gene in the body (can be repaired or introduce a healthy gene consequently altering proteins).

- 35AnnealingSecond step in PCR where the primers bind to their complementary DNA strands
- 36DNA PrimersUsed in PCR to give Taq polymerase a 3'OH starting point
- 37ProbeA radioactively labelled, single-stranded segment of DNA that is used to identify complementary sequences in DNA genes
- 38BlottingThe act of picking up a smear of fragments onto a nitrocellulose filter paper
- 39GenotypeThe particular range of combinations of alleles of each gene present in an individual. The genetic profile of an individual
- 40PhenotypeAn observable form of a characteristic or trait, physical or physiological
- 41AllelesDifferent forms of a gene that arise as a result of utation
- 42HomozygousDescription of a cell or an organism in which the alleles of its genes for a particular trait are identical
- 43HomozygoteAn individual that has a homozygous genotype
- 44HeterozygousDescription of a cell or an organism in which the alleles of its genes for a particular trait are different
- 45Hetero-zygoteAn organism whose genotype is heterozygous
- 46Wild TypeThe genotype and the phenotype that is most commonly observed in natural populations of organisms
- 47Mutant alleleThe genotype and phenotype that occur rarely in a natural environment
- 48DominanceAlong with recessiveness it is the properties that prevail in the phenotype
- 49Dominant phenotypeThe phenotype that is observed in the hetero-zygote and one homozygote
- 50Ressive phenotypeOnly observed in the homozygous condition
- 51EpidemiologyStudy of patterns in populations from a broad range of perspective, including genetics, disease, social and environmental factors
- 52Polygenic inheritanceA group of genes at more than one locus that cumulatively affect the overall expression of one phenotypic characteristic
- 53Discontinuous variationAlternative phenotypes are distinctly different or discrete from each other
- 54Continuous variationVariation of a characteristic in a population that is controlled by a number of genes
- 55Stud bookA journal that records the crosses between individual organisms over generations
- 56Principle of PentranceAn allele does not always express the allele phenotypically
- 57Test crossA deliberate cross between two organisms to determine whether one of the individuals is heterozygous or homozygous for a particular dominant trait. Carried out between an organism that has a known homozygous recessive genotype at that particular lotus and another organism that represents the dominant phenotype
- 58Complete dominanceWhere one allele is expressed over another in a heterozygote
