Genes are manipulated (changed or deleted) in an organism | Genetic Engineering
| Mapping of genes to specific locations on chromosomes | Gene Mapping
| DNA banding patterns are separated by size and charge | DNA Fingerprinting/Testing
| Mapping genes on the 46 chromosomes in a human | Human Genome Project
| Creates an exact genetic copy of a biological unit (gene, cell or organism) | Cloning
| An undifferentiated cell of a multicellular organism which is capable of giving rise to indefinitely more cells of the same type, and from which certain other kinds of cell arise by differentiation | Stem Cell
| Separates sections of DNA based on their size and electrical charge | Electrophoresis
| Selective growing or breeding of plants and animals to make them more useful to humans | Domestication
| The process of producing a desired characteristic by artificially altering a genetic material | Genetic Modification
