As we identify the terms in our lesson:1. Define the term2. Give an example3. Draw a picture to help you

remember theword

Selective Breeding Test Cross

Recombinant DNA Transgenic Organism

Genetic Technology

Applied Genetics• Selective Breeding: Humans determine which

parental phenotypes to breed in various organisms

• Inbreeding: crosses between closely related individuals

Determining Genotypes

• Test Cross: Cross an individual with an unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual for the trait.

Recombinant DNA Technology

• Genetic Engineering: Modifying the DNA of an organism through laboratory techniques

• Recombinant DNA: DNA that is made by connecting fragments of DNA from various sources.

Transgenic Organisms contain Recombinant DNA

• Transgenic Organisms: Plants and animals that contain DNA from a different organism.

Creating a transgenic organism

The Basics: 1. Isolate the DNA fragment of interest2. Attach the recombinant DNA into a carrier 3. Transfer the DNA from the carrier into the

host organisms genome

How do you…. Isolate the DNA fragment of interest?

Restriction Enzymes: bacterial proteins that cut specific nucleotide sequences - Leave “sticky ends” - Matching sticky ends have the ability to rejoin- The key to genetic

technology is the ability of the DNA from 2 different organisms to attach!!!

Example of Restriction Enzymes at work

How do you…..Attach the recombinant DNA into a

carrier? • Vector: a carrier that will transport the

recombinant DNA into a host organisms cells– Examples: Bacteria, viruses, mechanical– Plasmids: circular DNA found in bacteria that are

often used as vectors.

How do you…Transfer the DNA from the carrier into the host organisms genome?

• The plasmid is transferred into the bacteria• The bacteria will now transcribe and translate

any DNA found on the plasmid!!!

Contains the gene for human insulin

Bacteria that now make human insulin!!!!

Advantages to using bacteria:

• Reproduce quickly• Can create clones (genetically identical copies)• Can mass produce the recombinant plasmid

A genetically identical copy

CLONING…..What is a clone???

What types of clones are there???

Genes Animals

Gene Cloning• Making copies of a specific segment of DNA

Cloning of Animals• Making a genetically identical copy an animal

Journal:

Create a quick summary of how animal clones are created.

PCR- Polymerase Chain Reaction• A method used to copy DNA outside of the cell

1. Heat separates the DNA strands2. DNA polymerase is added to the DNA in order to

replicate it3. The cycle starts again

DNA Sequencing• Determining the sequence of DNA nucleotides

in a strand of DNA

– Produces a

sequence map

Gel Electrophoresis• A method that separates DNA fragments by

charge and size• Used to identify and isolate DNA fragments

Applications of DNA technology

• Industrial uses: increased enzyme activity– High protein corn– Fuels from corn and seaweed

• Medicine– Production of human hormones, insulin,

antibodies, and vaccines

• Agriculture– Crops that are resistant to pests and herbicides

The End for Today!!!

The Human Genome

• Linkage Maps: show the location or position of genes on a chromosome

Applications of the Human Genome Project

• Diagnosing genetic disorders

• Gene Therapy: Inserting a normal gene into human cells to correct a genetic disorder.

• DNA fingerprinting: DNA patterns can be used similar to fingerprints to identify an individual

Journal:

• Why is an individual’s DNA fingerprint unique if all humans all have similar genes?
