Genetic Technology
Genetic Engineering
• Making changes to
DNA
• Like changing the code
of a computer program
• Scientist use their
knowledge of structure
and chemical properties
to make changes
Terms used to show it’s not the
organism's natural reproductive
process:
• Genetic engineering
• Recombinant DNA technology
• Genetically Modified(GM)
• Gene Splicing
• Transgenic Organisms
Manipulating DNA
1. DNA Extraction – chemical procedure
ruptures cell & separates the DNA from
cell parts (Strawberry Lab)
2. Cutting DNA – restriction enzymes cut
the DNA into smaller pieces called
fragments (This 1 only between AAG)
3. Separating DNA – a gel electrophoresis
chamber separates DNA fragments to be
analyzed
4. Make unlimited copies of DNA (PCR)
5. Study, Compare, & Analyze Results
Gel Electrophoresis
• An Electric Voltage is applied to the gel to separate
DNA fragments
• The fragments move to the (+) positive side of the gel
because DNA is (-) negatively charged & attracted
• Bands are made of different sized DNA fragments
• Smaller fragments move faster
through the gel
G.E. can be used to:
• Identify a DNA Fingerprint
• Solve forensic cases
• Determine Paternity
• Examine specific proteins
• Locate and identify particular
genes (to tell if you are more likely
to get Breast Cancer or Alzheimer's Disease)
• Allows researchers to identify similarities and
differences in the genomes of different organisms.
• Your Genome is your particular set of
chromosomes (Your unique DNA)
• DNA Fingerprint – uniqueness of an
individual’s DNA
.01% Difference (Fingerprint)
99.99% Same DNA as everyone else
Gel Electrophoresis Questions
1. What are the bands made of?
DNA Fragments
1. Which bands move faster? Why?
Shorter bands b/c they are smaller
1. What is the purpose of the restriction
enzyme?
To cut DNA into fragments
Gel Electrophoresis Questions
4. Why are the bands moving towards the
positive side?
B/c they are negatively charged and
attracted to the positive
4. Are the samples identical? How do you know?
No, the bands of all 3 samples don’t line
up (same pattern)
4. Why is the electrical voltage applied?
To supply the -/+ current for
attraction/movement

Selective Breeding
• Only allowing desired
organisms to mate
• Breeders increase the
genetic variation in
the population by
causing mutations.
• Nearly all domestic
animals and most
crop plants have been
produced by this
breeding. Ex: Dogs,
Horses, Fruit, etc.
• Hybridization causes hardier animals than the
parents with desired traits Ex: Mule
• Inbreeding helps ensure that breeds will
continue to have unique characteristics Ex:Dogs
• Serious genetic problems can result from
excessive inbreeding Ex: mad dog
disease

Cloning
• A genetically
identical organism
produced from a
single somatic cell.
• In 1997, Ian Wilmut
cloned a sheep
called Dolly.
Dolly and Bonnie
Pros vs. Cons of Cloning
• Could Help
Endangered Species
Repopulate
• Superhuman Race
• No need for males
• Medical
Advancements
• Plenty of Food
• Moral Problems
• Genetic Disorders
• Health Problems
• No Variety
• Body Part Harvesting
• Superhuman Race
• No Males
What do you think?
Cloning Questions
1. Which Sheep provides the egg cell?
The black faced/legged Sheep B
2. Which Sheep provides the nucleus
(DNA)? The white faced/legged Sheep A
3. Why is the nucleus removed from the
egg? We only want DNA from Sheep A
and there would be to much if not
removed.
Cloning Questions
4. Which animal is the clone? The little
lamb
5. Which 2 animals are genetically
identical? The white faced/legged Sheep
A and the little lamb ***Notice that
Sheep B and C (Foster Mom) Look the
same but they are not GENETICALLY
6. Why is an electrical voltage applied? To
jump start the cell cycle for growth
Cloning
Donor Nucleus
Fused cell
Embryo
Egg Cell
Sheep C – Foster Mom
Cloned
Lamb
Sheep A
Sheep B
A donor cell is
taken from the
sheep’s udder
The two cells
are fused using
electricity
Egg cell is
taken from
other female
The nucleus
is removed The fused cell
begins dividing
normally
Embryo is placed in
the uterus of a foster
mother
The embryo
develops normally
into a lamb

Notas del editor

  1. Gel electrophoresis is used to separate DNA fragments. First, restriction enzymes cut DNA into fragments. The DNA fragments are then poured into wells on a gel, which is similar to a thick piece of gelatin. An electric voltage moves the DNA fragments across the gel. Because longer fragments of DNA move through the gel more slowly, they do not migrate as far across the gel as shorter fragments of DNA. Based on size, the DNA fragments make a pattern of bands on the gel. These bands can then be compared with other samples of DNA. 
  2. The adult sheep is Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. The lamb is Dolly’s first offspring, called Bonnie. The fact that Dolly was cloned did not affect her ability to produce a live offspring. Photo Credit: PA News
  3. In early 1997, Dolly made headlines as the first clone of an adult mammal.
