  1. Genetic Engineering SELECTIVE BREEDING…..HYBRIDIZATION…TRANSGENIC INBREEDING….CLONE….

  2. Come in quietly, clear your desk and prepare to take the quiz. The quiz is about a dozen questions 

  3. Genetic engineering = changing or influencing the genetic makeup • OR Altering GENES Class definition

  4. GENETIC VARIETY (Sunny, Roo, James & Bear)

  5. Different traits being expressed among the same species

  6. DEFINITION: SELECTIVE BREEDING = METHOD OF BREEDING THAT ALLOWS ONLY THOSE INDIVIDUAL ORGANISMS W/DESIRED CHARACTERISTICS TO PRODUCE THE NEXT GENERATION Allowing only those plants/animals that have desired traits to reproduce and thus pass on their genes to the next generation. SELECTIVE BREEDING

  7. SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE…

  8. Selective breeding

  9. HYBRIDIZATION = BREEDING TECHNIQUE THAT INVOLVES CROSSING DISSIMILAR INDIVIDUALS TO BRING TOGETHER THE BEST TRAITS OF BOTH ORGANISMS • Choosing two desirable parents that together could potentially produce offspring that inherits ALL of the desirable traits (from both parents) HYBRIDIZATION

  10. + = HYBRIDIZATION

  11. + = Mutation

  12. Inbreeding = continued breeding of individuals w/similar characteristics to maintain the desired characteristics of a line of organisms Can you think of an example from history that demonstrated the complications that result from inbreeding? Inbreeding

  13. INBREEDING…?

  14. Why is inbreeding so dangerous?

  15. TRANSGENIC= TERM USED TO REFER TO AN ORGANISM THAT CONTAINS GENES FROM OTHER ORGANISMS • What example of a transgenic organism have your read about? • What type of transgenic organism would YOU design? TRANSGENIC

  16. Transgenic Rabbit...can you guess which two organisms?

  17. Transgenic Mouse..can you guess which two organisms?

  18. FOR PESTICIDES!!! • (ALSO MONEY $) #1 reason we GENETICALLY ENGINEER FOOD

  19. A CLONE IS MEMBER OF A POPULATION OF GENTICALLY IDENTICAL CELLS PRODUCED FROM A SINGLE CELL CLONE

  20. Have you ever wished you could have a clone of yourself to do homework while you hit the skate park or went out with your friends? • Imagine if you could really do that. Where would you start? • What exactly is cloning? • Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. This means that every single bit of DNA is the same between the two! CLONING

  21.  To produce (an organism) by the mating of individuals of different breeds, varieties, or species; hybridize. • VERY SIMILAR TO HYBRIDIZATION CROSS BREEDING

  22. CROSS BREEDING EXAMPLE

  23. SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF HEREDITY / GENES GENETICS

  24. THE ACTION OR PROCESS OF REPRODUCING/ GENERATING BREEDING
