Genetic Engineering
The transfer of a gene from the DNA of one organism in order to produce an organism with desired traits
Gene Therapy
The process of replacing an absent or faulty gene with a normal working gene to treat a disease or medical disorder
Clone/Cloning
An organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced
Genome
The complete set of genes/genetic material in a sex cell.
Biotechnology
The use and application of living things and biological processes.
Gene Mutations
A change to the DNA of an organism resulting in a different protein in translation
Incomplete Dominance
When two genes produce a mix of traits (Ex. Black fur gene + White fur gene = gray fur)
Codominance
When two genes produce both traits (Ex. Black fur gene + White fur gene = black and white fur)
Artificial Selection/Selective Breeding
The process by which humans breed only those organisms with desired traits to produce the next generation (Selective breeding)
Natural Selection
Natural survival process based on favorable traits and how organisms evolve and adapt.
