  15. Genetic Engineering

  16. Genetic Engineering • The ability to move genetic material (genes) from one organism to another

  17. Genetic Engineering • History • 1000’s years people have changed the characteristics of plants and animals • selective breeding • exploitation of mutations • dreamed of being able to artificially create mutations

  18. What is Genetic Engineering? • Involves the manipulation of genes (DNA sequence) within a cell or organism to produce a desired result. • a change in the genetic makeup of an organism through: • deliberate addition (insertion) • Removal (deletion) • intentional mutation of DNA • Most commonly it involves the transfer of a gene from one organism to another.

  19. Examples • Bacteria produce Human insulin needed for diabetics • Transgenic pigs produce human Factor VIII, a blood-clotting agent needed by hemophiliacs • Bacteria produce hormone BST which helps control the production of milk.

  20. Steps in Genetic Engineering • Isolate the gene and cut it using restriction enzymes • Cut bacterial DNA using restriction enzymes • Splice the gene into bacterial DNA by attaching “sticky” ends

  21. Steps in Genetic Engineering • Place the engineered bacterial DNA into a bacteria cell • Clone the bacteria and collect the product
