| A | B |
|---|
| Mutation | A change in the DNA |
| Chromosome Mutations | Deletion, Inversion, Translocation, Nondisjunction |
| Deletion | a portion of DNA is lost |
| Inversion | a portion of DNA inverts/switches |
| Translocation | a portion of DNA breaks and reattaches elsewhere on the gene |
| Point Mutation | addition, deletion, or substitution of a single N base |
| Mutagens | cause change in DNA; smoke, chemicals, UV |
| Genetic Screening | study of a person's genetics |
| Karyotype | picture of the chromosome |
| Gel Electrophoresis | DNA is separated into fragments using electricity |
| Gene Splicing | process using restriction enzymes to cut DNA |
| Recombinant DNA | method to combine DNA from two organisms |
| Selective Breeding | process of breeding plants and animals for particular traits |
| Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) | technique used to allow biologists to make copies of DNA |
| Clone | organism whose genetic information is identical to that of a parent organism from which it was created |
