DNA Cells Bodies How does DNA code for cells & bodies?
how are cells and bodies made from the instructions in DNA 5

DNA Proteins Cells Bodies
DNA has the information to build proteins genes proteins cells DNA gets all the glory, Proteins do all the work bodies 6
7
How do proteins do all the work
proteins run living organisms enzymes control all chemical reactions in living organisms structure all living organisms are built out of proteins 7
8
Cell organization DNA DNA is in the nucleus
genes = instructions for making proteins want to keep it there = protected “locked in the vault” cytoplasm nucleus 8
9
Cell organization Proteins chains of amino acids
made by a “protein factory” in cytoplasm protein factory = ribosome cytoplasm nucleus build proteins ribosome 9

Many uses of restriction enzymes…
Now that we can cut DNA with restriction enzymes… we can cut up DNA from different people… or different organisms… and compare it why? forensics medical diagnostics paternity evolutionary relationships and more… 46
47
Comparing cut up DNA How do we compare DNA fragments?
separate fragments by size How do we separate DNA fragments? run it through a gelatin gel electrophoresis How does a gel work? 47
48
“swimming through Jello”
Gel electrophoresis A method of separating DNA in a gelatin-like material using an electrical field DNA is negatively charged when it’s in an electrical field it moves toward the positive side DNA – + “swimming through Jello” 48
49
“swimming through Jello”
Gel electrophoresis DNA moves in an electrical field… so how does that help you compare DNA fragments? size of DNA fragment affects how far it travels small pieces travel farther large pieces travel slower & lag behind DNA – + “swimming through Jello” 49
50
DNA & restriction enzyme
Gel Electrophoresis DNA & restriction enzyme - wells longer fragments power source gel shorter fragments + completed gel 50

Can we mix genes from one creature to another?
YES! 68
69
Mixing genes for medicine…
Allowing organisms to produce new proteins bacteria producing human insulin bacteria producing human growth hormone 69
70
How do we do mix genes? Genetic engineering find gene
cut DNA in both organisms paste gene from one creature into other creature’s DNA insert new chromosome into organism organism copies new gene as if it were its own organism reads gene as if it were its own organism produces NEW protein: Remember: we all use the same genetic code! 70

Uses of genetic engineering
Genetically modified organisms (GMO) enabling plants to produce new proteins Protect crops from insects: BT corn corn produces a bacterial toxin that kills corn borer (caterpillar pest of corn) Extend growing season: fishberries strawberries with an anti-freezing gene from flounder Improve quality of food: golden rice rice producing vitamin A improves nutritional value For example, a transgenic rice plant has been developed that produces yellow grains containing beta-carotene. Humans use beta-carotene to make vitamin A. Currently, 70% of children under the age of 5 in Southeast Asia are deficient in vitamin A, leading to vision impairment and increased disease rates. 73

Bacteria Bacteria are great! one-celled organisms reproduce by mitosis
easy to grow, fast to grow generation every ~20 minutes 74
75
Bacterial DNA Single circular chromosome Other DNA = plasmids!
only one copy = haploid no nucleus Other DNA = plasmids! bacteria chromosome plasmids 75
76
There’s more… Plasmids small extra circles of DNA
carry extra genes that bacteria can use can be swapped between bacteria bacterial sex!! rapid evolution = antibiotic resistance can be picked up from environment Mini-chromosomes 76
77
How can plasmids help us?
A way to get genes into bacteria easily insert new gene into plasmid insert plasmid into bacteria = vector bacteria now expresses new gene bacteria make new protein transformed bacteria gene from other organism recombinant plasmid vector plasmid cut DNA + glue DNA 77
78
Grow bacteria…make more
transformed bacteria gene from other organism + recombinant plasmid vector plasmid grow bacteria harvest (purify) protein 78
