Genetic Technology

• Chapter 13

2
Foldable

• Fold your paper so both sides meet in the middle.
• Cut 3 flaps on each side for a total of 6 flaps.
  
• Do this with 2 sheets of paper.
• Label the sides of one paper inbreeding, Clone,
  genetic engineering, plasmid, recombinant DNA,
  restriction enzyme.
• Label the side of the other paper transgenic
  organism, vector, gene therapy, human genome, PCR

3
Inbreeding

• Under the flap for inbreeding type the following
  definition and give an example
• Mating closely related individuals to ensure they
  are homozygous for most traits
• Can be bad because it may bring out harmful
  recessive traits
• Example Pure bred Dogs

4
Cloning

• Write the following definition under the flap and
  give examples
• Genetically identical copy of an organism
• Used in Bacteria to make insulin, also used in
  plants.

5
Genetic Engineering

• Under the genetic engineering flap write the
  following definitions and examples
• Method of cutting DNA from one organism and
  inserting the DNA fragments into a host organism
  of the same or different species.
• Scientist use Ecoli bacteria to make expensive
  Die for blue Jeans

6
Plasmid

• Under the plasmid flap write the following
  definition and sketch the following picture.
• A small round band of DNA found in bacterial
  cells that is used as a biological vector
  (carrier)

7
Recombinant DNA

• Under the flap write the following definition and
  examples
• DNA made by recombining (connecting) fragments of
  DNA from different sources.
• Example combining the DNA for the protein that
  makes blood clot and putting it into sheep DNA to
  make massive amounts of the clotting factor

8
Restriction Enzyme

• Under the flap for restriction enzyme write the
  following definition and examples
• A DNA cutting enzyme that can cut bothe strand of
  a DNA molecule at a specific nucleotides site.
• When making Recombinant DNA the enzyme separates
  the DNA at the right spot so it can be connected
  to the foreign DNA

Transgenic organism

• Write the following definition and example
• Organism that contains DNA from 2 different
  species.
• Ex
• Bacteria that have had human DNA put into them to
  make human insulin for Diabetics
• Plants that have had DNA from other species in
  them to prevent rotting or make them bigger and
  more desirable.

11
Vector

• Write the following definition and examples under
  the flap
• Means by which DNA from another species can be
  carried into the host cell. May be biological
  (living organism) or Mechanical (machine in the
  lab)
• Viruses and bacteria

12
Gene therapy

• Under the flap write the following definition and
  examples
• Insertion of normal genes into a human cell to
  correct genetic disorders
• Used to treat Cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell
  anemia and hemophilia

13
Human Genome

• Under the Human Genome flap write the following
  definition and examples
• Map of the thousands of genes on 46 human
  chromosomes that when mapped and sequenced may
  provide information on the treatment and cure of
  genetic disorders
• There are approximately 35,000 to 40,000 genes
  on the 46 human chromosomes

14
PCR

• Under the PCR flap write the following definition
  and examples.
• Polymerase chain reaction
• A machine that makes millions of copies of DNA in
  a day.
• Used to analyze DNA in crime investigations and
  in the diagnosis of diseases

15
Applications of DNA technology

• On the last flap title it application of DNA
  technology.
• Under the flap write the following examples
• Develop corn that contains as much protein as
  beef, make insulin and human growth hormone,
  increase vitamins in crops, make plants produce
  toxins that make them resistant to bacteria and
  insects
