Introduction of Biotechnology
Pre-AP Biology
2
Bellwork What does Biotechnology mean to you?
Do you know of any products that were produced by Biotechnology?
3
Objectives Define Biotechnology Define restriction enzyme
Property of CTE Joint Venture 12/9/2018 Objectives Define Biotechnology Define restriction enzyme Explain how restriction enzymes work
4
Terminology Restriction enzyme Restriction site Palindrome sequence
Property of CTE Joint Venture 12/9/2018 Terminology Restriction enzyme Restriction site Palindrome sequence Sticky end Blunt end Restriction fragments
5
Definition of Biotechnology
The study and manipulation of living things for the purpose of making products that benefit society

Think-Pair-Share On the following slide you will watch a video describing advances in Biotechnology. While you are watching the video, write down some key products produced by this industry. Be ready to share 3. Think-pair-share teacher presents a question teacher gives wait time for student to form answer teacher instructs students to share their answer with a partner teacher calls on non-volunteers to share with the class PROPERTY OF PIMA COUNTY JTED, 2010 3

Biotechnology Video Biotechnology: A New Frontier
8
Significance of Basic Molecular Biology
Discovery of DNA as the genetic code Understanding the processes involved in going from DNARNAProtein Allowed us to develop molecular tools for manipulating DNA for advancements in medical science Agriculture food industry
9
As Biotechnology developed, several molecular tools were created
Two main tools are Restriction enzymes Agarose gel electrophoresis

Introductory Activity
Property of CTE Joint Venture 12/9/2018 Introductory Activity Read excerpt and underline the letters to every time it appears in the text. Draw a vertical line after the t. The vertical line represents a cut site. If you were to cut at that cut site with scissors, how many text fragments would you have? Write the number in the designated spot on the note-taker.
11
Restriction Enzymes Cut at specific sites along the DNA
Each enzyme recognizes a unique cut site Reflect: How are restriction enzymes like the scissors in the introductory activity? 12/9/2018
12
Where are restriction enzymes found in nature?
Proteins found in bacteria Protect bacteria against DNA from invading organisms including viruses or other bacteria Protect the bacteria by cutting the foreign DNA 12/9/2018
13
Characteristics of the Restriction Site
Four to six nucleotides in length Symmetrical meaning the sequence for both strands are the same when read in 5’ to 3’ direction Palindromic Sequence Due to symmetry 3’ 5’ 3’ 5’ 12/9/2018
14
Two Types of Cut Sites Blunt End
restriction enzyme cuts the two strands of DNA such that the ends are even across both strands 12/9/2018
15
Two types of Cut Sites Sticky Ends
restriction enzyme cuts the two strands in a staggered way This results in one end of DNA being single-stranded and overhangs the other strand 12/9/2018

Paraphrase Identify at least two key points in your notes about: restriction site Summarize your key points in your own words! 6. Paraphrase student writes down one or two main ideas directly from the text or notes student now paraphrases these ideas in their own words teacher provides feedback PROPERTY OF PIMA COUNTY JTED, 2010 6 PROPERTY OF PIMA COUNTY JTED, 2010
17
Restriction Fragment DNA after cut with restriction enzymes
12/9/2018 Restriction Fragment DNA after cut with restriction enzymes Fragments created differ in size depending on where the restriction site is located The size of the fragment is defined by the number of paired nucleotides along the fragment
18
Determination of Fragment Size
12/9/2018 Determination of Fragment Size Can be determined by conducting agarose gel electrophoresis Compare the DNA Fragments to known standards after they migrate in the gel under an electrical current and are stained. What is the size of fragment in lane 2?
