Recombinant DNA Technology Genetic engineering requires copies of a specific sequence of DNA ( gene) that codes for 1 protein. Example: 1. The jellyfish or coral gene that fluoresces in ultraviolet light can be added to fish, monkeys, dogs. 2. The gene sequence for human growth hormone can be added to bacteria which act as factories synthesizing the protein.

these animals.
6
How is the short sequence of DNA multiplied? DNA Animations Library polymerase chain reactions
7
Polymerase Chain Reactions 1. Select section of DNA (gene) to be copied 2.Use an enzyme from heat resistant bacteria to copy the gene. 3.The steps of PCR are driven by changes in temperature
