__________ is the use of forensic science to examine and make conclusions about archaeological discoveries

16

__________ sequences are used to detect variability or polymorphisms in the PCR priming sites

17

The role of the __________ standard is to prevent pseudoscience form being allowed as evidence

18

The __________ standard arose out of a judgment rejecting the admissibility of evidence based on polygraph testing

19

__________ is a digital method of DNA profiling that is appropriate for computer databases

22

If DNA is incompletely digested by __________, the DNA profile will be inaccurate

23

__________ analysis is beneficial when alleles are linked to mutated genes that encode genetic diseases

24

__________ is nucleotide sequence variations in a region of DNA that generates fragment length differences and restriction enzyme digestion

__________ are simple tandemly repeated sequences or short tandem repeats

26

Repetitive DNA sequences of fewer than 500 base pairs are called __________

27

In __________, viruses are engineered to selectively infect and kill tumor cells, while leaving normal cells intact

28

__________ targets the mRNA of a mutated gene so that they cannot be translated into protein

29

__________ is when a procedure is tested on a small number (20-30) human volunteers to determine dosage limits and route of delivery and to assess the procedure's toxicity and safety

30

A __________ seeks ways to improve the well-being and quality of life of chronically ill patients

31

A __________ identifies better tests for diagnosing diseases

32

A __________ seeks new ways to prevent disease in people who have never had the particular disease

33

__________ is a common genetic disorder that results from a defective ion transport molecule located in the plasma membrane of the cell

34

__________ vectors show potential for in vivo gene therapy because both diving and nondividing cells are readily infected

35

__________ are disorders that result from mutations in more than one gene

36

In __________ gene therapy, the gene is introduced directly into specific cells within the body

37

In __________ gene therapy, cells are removed form the body, the gene of interest is inserted into them, the cells are cultured to multiply to a sufficient number, and they are then returned to the body by infusion or transplantation
