1. Selective Breeding
• Breed only those plants or animals with desirable traits
• People have been using selective breeding for 1000’s of years with farm crops and domesticated animals.

2. Recombinant DNA
• The ability to combine the DNA of one organism with the DNA of another organism.
• Recombinant DNA technology was first used in the 1970’s with bacteria.

Recombinant Bacteria 1. Remove bacterial DNA
(plasmid).
2. Cut the Bacterial DNA with “restriction enzymes”.
3. Cut the DNA from another organism with “restriction enzymes”.
4. Combine the cut pieces of DNA together with another enzyme and insert them into bacteria.
5. Reproduce the recombinant bacteria.
6. The foreign genes will be expressed in the bacteria.

Benefits of Recombinant
Bacteria
1. Bacteria can make human insulin or
human growth hormone.
2. Bacteria can be engineered to “eat” oil
spills.

3. Transgenic Organisms (GMOs) The DNA of plants and animals can also be altered.
PLANTS
1. Disease-resistant and
insect-resistant crops
2. Hardier fruit
3. 70-75% of food in supermarket is genetically modified.

How to Create a Genetically
Modified Plant
1.Create recombinant
bacteria with desired gene.
2. Allow the bacteria to “infect" the plant cells.
3. Desired gene is inserted into plant chromosomes.

What do you think about eating
genetically modified foods?
![Page 10: Genetic Engineering · 2015-03-16 · Genetic Engineering • Genetic Engineers can alter the DNA code of living organisms. • Selective Breeding • Recombinant DNA • Transgenic](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042101/5e7d93fc28f8280cd266c82b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Genetically modified organisms are
called transgenic organisms.
TRANSGENIC ANIMALS
1. Mice – used to study human immune system
2. Chickens – more resistant to infections
3. Cows – increase milk supply and leaner meat
4. Goats, sheep and pigs – produce human proteins in their milk

Human DNA in
a Goat Cell
This goat contains a human
gene that codes for a blood
clotting agent. The blood
clotting agent can be harvested
in the goat’s milk.

Genetic Engineering and
Crime Scenes……
![Page 15: Genetic Engineering · 2015-03-16 · Genetic Engineering • Genetic Engineers can alter the DNA code of living organisms. • Selective Breeding • Recombinant DNA • Transgenic](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042101/5e7d93fc28f8280cd266c82b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4. Polymerase Chain Reaction
PCR • PCR allows scientists to
make many copies of a piece of DNA.
1. Heat the DNA so it “unzips”.
2. Add the complementary nitrogenous bases.
3. Allow DNA to cool so the complementary strands can “zip” together.
![Page 16: Genetic Engineering · 2015-03-16 · Genetic Engineering • Genetic Engineers can alter the DNA code of living organisms. • Selective Breeding • Recombinant DNA • Transgenic](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042101/5e7d93fc28f8280cd266c82b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
5. Gel Electrophoresis
• This technology
allows scientists to
identify someone’s
DNA!
![Page 17: Genetic Engineering · 2015-03-16 · Genetic Engineering • Genetic Engineers can alter the DNA code of living organisms. • Selective Breeding • Recombinant DNA • Transgenic](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042101/5e7d93fc28f8280cd266c82b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Steps Involved in Gel
Electrophoresis 1. “Cut” DNA sample with
restriction enzymes.
2. Run the DNA fragments through a gel.
3. Bands will form in the gel.
4. Everyone’s DNA bands are unique and can be used to identify a person.
5. DNA bands are like “genetic fingerprints”.

Applications of DNA fingerprinting (gel
electrophoresis and PCR) • Forensic analysis
• Population genetics:
• Providing pedigree status for certain animals:
• Forensic analysis of wildlife crimes:
• Detecting genetically modified organisms:
• Testing for e. coli and other illnesses carried by food sources:
• Paternity and Maternity testing:
• Personal Identification:

6. Cloning
• Clones are organisms
that are exact genetic
copies. Every single
bit of their DNA is
identical.
