Aim: How do scientists use biotechnology to manipulate genomes?
LO: SWBAT explain how scientists use biotechnology to manipulate organisms DN: Using your knowledge of prefixes and suffixes, what do you think biotechnology is? HW: red review book- photosynthesis (due Monday)
What is biotechnology? The use of ___________ to perform practical tasks for ________. Yeast, helps us make bread & wine. Bacteria, help us make yogurt & cheese. organisms humans
What is a genome? Complete set of an organism’s _________ material. The Chromosomes, DNA, & the Genes which are all found in the ________. genetic nucleus
What is a Gene? A gene is a sequence of ____ on a ___________ that codes for one ________. **Remember, not all of the ____ codes for proteins. The parts that do are called ______, the parts that don’t are called ___________________. DNA chromosome protein DNA genes non-coding regions
What is DNA Technology? The branch of biotechnology where scientists actually ___________ (alter) the ________ of organisms at the molecular level. manipulate genomes
Why would altering DNA affect our characteristics/traits? DNA codes for the _________ that determine our _______. proteins traits
What are some examples of DNA Technology? Cloning DNA Fingerprinting Recombinant DNA GMO
Scientists often use __________ ________ in DNA Technology How do bacteria reproduce? Asexual Reproduction Does that lead to variation in offspring? No, it leads to clones bacteria & viruses
Human Genome Project Scientists studied and mapped the human _________ (determined the entire ____________ sequence of DNA). genome nucleotide
Steps of the Human Genome Project: 1)Sequence the DNA (order of the bases). 2)Regions of DNA that code for proteins (genes) must be distinguished from non- coding regions. 3) The functions of the resulting proteins must be determined. 4) Develop a map of the human genome.
Why is this so important? 1)Comparing human sequences with those from other species provide insight into _____________ relationships. 2)Identifying genes will aid in ____________, ___________________ common ailments. evolutionary diagnosing treating, & preventing
