Genetic Engineering How is this possible? Jelly Fish Gene Mice Recombinant DNA Technology Connecting fragments of DNA from different sources Transgenic Organisms Plants and animals that contain fragments of DNA from different sources. Example: tobacco plant with firefly gene that makes the plant glow Bacteria and Recombinant DNA Technology Scientists commonly use bacteria to produce substances like human insulin or human growth hormone They all use bacteria because they reproduce asexually and reproduce rapidly Creating Bacteria with Human Genes (DNA) – Step 1 Cut a piece of DNA that codes for a specific gene using restriction enzymes (act like scissors). They cut DNA at a specific nucleotide sequence. Example: Step 2 Cut plasmid (small circular DNA found in bacteria) with restriction enzymes. Step 3 Gene splicing: Foreign DNA is attached to the plasmid creating recombinant DNA. The recombinant DNA is inserted into the bacteria. The bacteria will reproduce asexually.

To produce insulin, human growth hormone, enzymes to break down pollutants, produce natural insecticides, etc. The quest for the perfect tomato…. What would arctic fish have to do with making the perfect tomato? Transgenic Plants Genetically engineered plants with recombinant DNA. Example – tomato with the antifreeze gene from fish Transgenic Animals Genetically engineered animals with recombinant DNA. Ex – Creating animals with human organs for transplants Gene Therapy Inserting normal genes into human cells to correct genetic disorders Selective Breeding Choosing animals and plants to mate with desirable traits. Ex – Texas cattle and Brahman cattle What are they? Hybridization Mating individuals not closely related to introduce new beneficial genes into a population Ex – Horse (obedient) + donkey (strong) = mule (obedient and strong) Inbreeding Mating between closely related individuals to maintain desirable traits. Choosing a Mutation Seedless oranges, ancon sheep (short legged). We choose to breed mutations for our benefit. Cloning Cloning Creating identical individuals with the desired traits. Ex – Dolly the sheep, vegetative propagation, etc. Cloning Pros and Cons Pros Cons -Study -Messing and fight diseases -Clone organisms with better traits (better meat, milk, etc.) with nature -Cloning humans -Change an ecosystem – bring back organisms that are extinct -Clones live shorter lives because the DNA is aged
