Answer 1

Here is the correct matching of keywords from Column A to their definitions in Column B:

1. gel electrophoresis: g. procedure used to separate and analyze DNA fragments by placing a mixture of DNA fragments at one end of a porous gel and applying an electrical voltage to the gel
2. GMO: c. term used to refer to an organism that contains genes from other organisms
3. polymerase chain reaction (PCR): f. the technique used by biologists to make many copies of a particular gene
4. biotechnology: h. process of manipulating organisms, cells, or molecules to produce specific products
5. clone: e. member of a population of genetically identical cells produced from a single cell
6. plasmid: a. small, circular piece of DNA located in the cytoplasm of many bacteria
7. recombinant DNA: b. DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources
8. selective breeding: d. method of breeding that allows only those organisms with desired characteristics to produce the next generation
9. transgenic: i. organism whose genome contains DNA, at least one gene, from a different species to get a desired trait
