Term
Hybridization
Definition
Hybridization is a special case of selective breeding. This involves crossing two individuals with different desirable traits to produce offspring with a combination of both desirable traits.
Term
Human Genome Project
Definition
The human genome project has involved the mapping of the major genes influencing human traits, thus allowing humans to know the basic framework of their genetic code
Knowledge of genetics is making possible new fields of health care.
Term
Cloning
Definition
Cloning involves producing a group of genetically identical offspring from the cells of an organism. This technique may greatly increase agricultural productivity.
Term
Genetic mapping
Definition
Genetic mapping, which is the location of specific genes inside the chromosomes of cells makes it possible to detect, and perhaps in the future correct defective genes that may lead to poor health.
Term
genetic engineering or recombination
Definition
This technology is known as genetic engineering or recombination DNA technology. Different enzymes can be used to cut, copy (clone), and move segments of DNA.
