1. Lesson 29 – Genetic Engineering LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives. Kaneshige – Living Environment - 2/15/11 – Periods 4,7 Catalyst: Describe your favorite fruit and the characteristics that make it so delicious.

2. WILF: State the definition of genetic engineering. Understand how we use selective breeding to produce products with more desirable traits. Understand the basic method of gene alteration. Answer multiple choice Q’s based on genetic engineering. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

3. Genetic engineering is... A new technology that alters the DNA in organisms. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

7. Selective breeding is... A process that produces domestic animals and new varieties of plants with traits that are desirable. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

8. Examples: Many meat products come from animals that have been bred to contain less fat. Many of the fruits and vegetables have been bred to be larger, sweeter, hardier, or juicier. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

9. The basic method that alters genes in organisms... Uses special enzymes that splices (cuts, moves and attaches) the DNA to that of a new organism. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

10. Once in the new organism... The transferred DNA directs the new organism’s cells to make the same protein product as the original organism. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

11. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #1 In recent research, the DNA that codes for a different key enzyme was removed from each of three different species of soil bacteria. A new bacterium containing DNA for all three key enzymes, could be produced by 1)selective breeding 2)screening for mutations 3)genetic engineering 4)random alteration LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

12. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #2 What is the technique of genetic engineering in which DNA is transferred from the cells of one organism to the cells of another organism? 1)gene splicing 2)chromatography 3)electrophoresis 4)selective deleting LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

13. MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTION #3 The insertion of a human DNA fragment into a bacterial cell might make it possible for 1)the bacterial cell to produce a human protein 2)the cloning of the human that donated that DNA fragment 3)humans to become immune to an infection by this type of bacteria 4)the cloning of this type of bacteria LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

14. SUMMARY: The technology of genetic engineering has allowed humans to alter the genetic makeup of organisms. Describe one example of such an alteration. LEARNING OBJECTIVE: We will learn the importance of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.
