Chapter 12

2. Bacteria DNA
Bacterial DNA is shaped like a circle and called a plasmid

3. Transforming Bacteria
The plasmid diffuses out of the cell when it expands
The DNA is cut open by Restriction Enzymes
A new piece of DNA is added to the plasmid (recombinant DNA)
The plasmid diffuses back into the bacteria

4. Transforming Bacteria
Transformed Bacteria can make medicines like:
Human Growth Hormone (Performance enhancing drug)
Insulin (Diabetes)
Transgenic bacteria has DNA from itself and another organism (humans)
