1. Biotechnology

2. -Modern biotechnology techniques whose goals are achieved by deleting, adding or replacing genes.
-Is the alteration of an organism, its cells or biological molecules (DNA) to achieve specific industrial or medical goals.

4. Genetic Engineering/biotechnology is used to:
Produce genetically modify plants and animals by
inserting desirable genes from one organism into
the DNA of another organism.
Larger ears and yields of corn.
-Make plants insect resistant
-Make plants salt resistant
-Tsunami Region
-Make glow in the dark mice and bacteria

5. -Create glow in the dark organisms.

7. Glowing Cats

8. 2. Produce medicines like insulin and human growth
hormone.
Insert the human gene for making these proteins into a bacteria cell and have the bacteria “mass produce” these much needed proteins for us.

9. 3. Solve crimes
-Create a “DNA fingerprint”
-no two people have the exact same DNA code so everyone’s DNA fingerprint is different.
-can be used to link a person to a crime scene.

10. 4. Determine parentage. -Who’s your daddy?
-Think Jerry Springer………..can use a child’s DNA to link them to who their real parents are.

11. All forms of genetic engineering revolve around the production of recombinant DNA and the use of restriction enzymes.

12. Recombinant DNA:
A new DNA sequence created when the DNA of one organism is inserted into the DNA
of another organism. This “new combination” of DNA is known as recombinant DNA.

13. Restriction Enzymes:
-Restriction enzymes act like molecular scissors and “cut up” the DNA into different size pieces based upon the repeating sequence GAATTC.

14. Using restriction enzymes to create “recombinant DNA”: Making Humalin (human insulin made by bacteria)
1. Locate desirable gene. Gene for human insulin is located on chromosome #12.
2. Add restriction enzyme to cut out this desirable
gene.
-looks for the recognition site of GAATTC
Cuts DNA between the G and the A
3. Add same restriction enzyme to a bacteria and cut its DNA loop at the same site of GAATTC.
4. Create complementary sticky ends.

15. 5. Allow bacteria to use its sex pili to pick up desirable gene from its environment.
6. Allow bacteria to reproduce asexually creating many copies of the recombinant DNA.

17. Creating a DNA fingerprint:
1. Collect DNA from any cell on a person’s body.
2. Add restriction enzyme to the DNA.
3. Restriction enzyme “cuts” the DNA into many pieces every time it
recognizes its specific recognition site.

18. 4. Place DNA sample into the gel electrophoresis apparatus.
5. One end of apparatus is negative and the other is positive
(like a battery). DNA is negative.
6. Turn on electricity.

19. 7. DNA which is negative is picked up by current and carried towards
the positive end of the apparatus because opposites attract.
8. The different size DNA fragments travel different distances. The
largest fragments move the least distance and the shorter
fragments move the most.
9. A dye is added and a banding pattern is revealed. This banding
pattern is unique to everyone and is called a DNA fingerprint.

24. Twigg v. Mays
Plaintiff Ernest and Regina Twigg Defendant Robert Mays Plaintiff's Claim That the parental rights held by the Twiggs compelled that they be granted custody of 14- year-old Kimberley Mays who was switched at birth with another newborn. Chief Lawyer for Plaintiff John Blakely Chief Defense Lawyers George Russ, David Denkin (guardian ad litem) Judge Stephen Dakan Place Sarasota County, Florida Date of Decision 18 August 1993 Decision Ruled in favor of Mays, by terminating the Twiggs' legal rights to Kimberly and clearing the way for Robert Mays to adopt her.
