  1. Genetic engineering is the process of moving from one organism to another.
     
     
     
  2. enzymes can be used to cut DNA at specific sites, leaving ends, which can be used to produce DNA.
     
     
     
  3. A vector such as a virus or plasmid is used to the recombinant DNA.
     
     
     
  4. chain reaction (PCR) can be used to amplify small amounts of DNA in vitro.
     
     
     
  5. DNA fragments can be separated by gel .
     
     
     
  6. DNA can be used to determine if two samples of DNA are from the same source.
     
     
     
  7. are DNA copies made from processed mRNAs which contain only .
     
     
     
  8. Genetic engineering has many medical applications and can also be used to produce genetically modified ( ) plants.
