Biotechnology Basics
These Bases Are:
1) Adenine (A) - Only Pairs with "T"
Bioremediation
A set of techniques that use living organisms to clean up toxic wastes in water and soil.
Biostimulation
Adding nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus to simulate the growth of naturally occurring beneficial microbes for faster more efficient work.
Biotechnology Basics
Biotechnology is the use of living organisms (microorganisms) to make new products or carry out new processes (solve problems).
Biofuels
Fuels composed of or produced from biological raw materials
Basic Genetics
Genetics is the science of heredity
Ethics
Is a system of moral principles that defines what is right and wrong in a society
DNA- Genetic Code of Life
Is the coded material in a cell nuclei that determines what that cell and its successive cells will become.
Gene Mapping
The process of both finding and recording the locations of genes.
Phytoremediation
The process of plants absorbing or immobilizing pollutants. First tested actively at sites in the 1990's
Bases
are like rungs of a ladder that hold the two sides of the DNA strands together.
Cloning (Micro propagation In Plants)
creating an exact genetic duplicate of another organism
Genetic Engineering
is the process of moving genetic information in the form of genes from one cell to another
Tissue Culture
is the use of a very small actively growing part of the plant to produce a large number of new plants
Indicator Species
one of the oldest methods of biological detection.
Animal Reproduction and Production
the processes used in improving the efficiency of reproduction and production involve the use of biotechnology
