Practical applications of recombinant DNA technology include the: 1. Efficient production of useful proteins and development of a new type of vaccines 2. Creation of novel genotypes for the synthesis of economically important molecules. 3. Generation of DNA and RNA sequences for use in medical diagnosis. 4. all of the above
Genetic Recombination
Recombination is crucial to this process because it allows genes to be reassorted into diverse combinations. Genetic recombination is the process of combining genetic components from two different origins into a single unit. In prokaryotes, genetic recombination takes place by the unilateral transfer of deoxyribonucleic acid. It includes transduction, transformation, and conjugation. The genetic exchange occurring between homologous deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (DNA) from two different sources is termed general recombination. For this to happen, an identical sequence of the two recombining molecules is required. The process of genetic exchange which occurs in eukaryotes during sexual reproduction such as meiosis is an example of this type of genetic recombination.
Microbial Genetics
Genes are the functional units of heredity. They transfer characteristic information from parents to the offspring.
Practical applications of recombinant DNA technology include the:
1. Efficient production of useful proteins and development of a new type of vaccines
2. Creation of novel genotypes for the synthesis of economically important molecules.
3. Generation of DNA and RNA sequences for use in medical diagnosis.

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING TECHNIQUE IS NOT USED TO MANIPULATE THE GENOME
1. siRNA
2. ZF (zinc finger)
3. TALE (transcription activator light effector)
4. CRISPR
COMMON DISEASE- COMMON VARIANT HYPOTHESIS STATES THAT
1. common disorders are likely influences by
2. if an SNP produced a deleterious mutation and changes amino acid sequence in 40% of individuals- it will produce disease
3. A SNP produce little change in gene expression- it will produce slight increase in risk/ manifestation of disease phenotype
4. all of the above
WHAT IS TRUE REGARDING GENE ORGANIZATION IN THE NUCLEUS
1. gene location has no effect on its activation
2. genes are placed randomly
3. a gene has a fixed location in the nucleus
4. genes are placed in cell-type and tissue-specific manner
