Gene technologies & Human applications
Manipulating Genes Genetic engineering - is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. (Indirect genetic modification through artificial selection has been practiced for centuries.)
Lab grown meat
Lab grown meat Shoulder partner discussion: First student should ask: “Would you eat lab grown meat? Why?” Second student answer the question, then ask the same question to the other student. Listen and respect the other student, you will be asked to share
Manipulating Genes Recombinant DNA - molecules are DNA molecules formed by laboratory methods of genetic recombination (such as molecular cloning) to bring together genetic material from multiple sources, creating sequences that would not otherwise be found in biological organisms.
Genetic engineering Jellyfish have a gene for bioluminescence

Bellwork: 2/15/17 Give 2 examples of how biotechnology is being used to benefit people and animals. (Two possible answers include insulin production and agents that eliminate blood clots.) List two things that the genes of a DNA molecule control. (Genes control an animal’s appearance, health, growth, and reproduction.) Explain any differences between a control group and an experimental group. (A major difference is that the control group contains all the same components as the experimental group except for what is being tested.)
Surprising Human Genome Humans have only a few genes Most human DNA is non-coding Many human genes are identical to some non- human species All humans are genetically close
Diagnosing & Preventing Disease Microarray - is a collection of microscopic DNA spots attached to a solid surface. Scientists use DNA microarrays to measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes simultaneously or to genotype multiple regions of a genome.
Diagnosing & Preventing Disease Genetic Counseling - is the process, by which patients or relatives, at risk of an inherited disorder, are advised of: 1) the consequences and nature of the disorder, 2) the probability of developing or transmitting it 3) the options open to them in management and family planning.
Treating Disease Gene Therapy - is the use of DNA as a pharmaceutical agent to treat disease. It derives its name from the idea that DNA can be used to supplement or alter genes within an individual's cells as a therapy to treat disease.
Treating Disease Pharmacogenomics - is the technology that analyses how genetic makeup affects an individual's response to drugs.
Identifying individuals DNA finger printing - is a technique employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals by their respective DNA profiles.
Manipulating Bodies & Development Cloning - the process of producing similar populations of genetically identical individuals.

Manipulating Bodies & Development Stem Cells- are undifferentiated biological cells, that can differentiate into specialized cells and can divide (through mitosis) to produce more stem cells.
Ethical & Social Issues Safety of Genetically modified food sources Property Laws: Patients rights: Do you own your genes? Patents: Pay for gene therapy that can save your life Copy written species: Bacteria as fuel sources Human rights: Who can we marry? Who should have access to genetic information? Decisions that effect children
