1. Recombinant DNA
rDNA

2. Bioluminescence
Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) in Aequorea victoria is put into a plasmid and then put into mice and other organisms to have them make the GF protein.

6. Recombinant DNA technology
Recombinant DNA: adding or removing portions of DNA from an organism to create offspring with desired traits.
The human gene for insulin was placed in bacteria to produce insulin in large quantities for diabetics. These bacteria are recombinant organisms or transgenic life forms.
It is possible to create genetically modified organisms because of the universal nature of the genetic code.

10. Cannot produce insulin
Current Uses of Recombinant DNA
Type 1 Diabetic
Cannot produce insulin
Originally made in pig and cow, now with rDNA, other animals are not needed

12. Golden Rice
Vitamin A added via plasmid

13. Other Recombinant examples
Roundup-ready Canola
Herbicide resistence added via plasmid
