1. Genetic Engineering Biotechnology

2. February 1, 2010 Do Now: What is being described by this picture?

3. Genetic Engineering

4. What are some of the ways scientists use their knowledge of DNA?

5. Genetic Engineering: Agriculture Agriculture Manufacturing Medicine

6. Genetic Engineering is the manipulation of the DNA in cells, to change hereditary traits. It is allows scientists to put genes from one organism into another organism.

7. Mistake

8. Transgenic An organism that has DNA of another species

9. Genetic Engineering

10. Transgenic

11. Green Mice: Mouse + Plant Gene

12. Tobacco plant + Jellyfish gene = Transgenic Plant

13. Transgenic DNA from the Glowing Fish The gene that makes it glow White Rabbit Glowing Rabbit

14. Injecting foreign DNA into a Mouse Cell

15. Gene Splicing Cut a segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein. For example the gene that makes the hormone insulin for people who have diabetes.

16. Gene is placed into Bacteria DNA Bacteria now makes insulin

17. Controversial WHY?

18. Negative Aspects Violates the integrity of life Unethical Do human beings know what is best? Puts species at risk Does not take into account changing conditions

19. ProsCons Genetic Engineering

20. Closure What are some of the ways scientists use their knowledge of DNA?

21. Response: 1. Solving Crimes 2. Agriculture 3. Manufacturing medicine 4. Testing for disease

22. Is genetically modified food safe? What are the potential long term effects?
