E N D
PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) • What is it?
Restriction enzymes • What are they?
Gel Electrophoresis • What is it? • How does it work? • DNA is isolated • DNA is copied with PCR • Cut with restriction enzymes • Run through charged gel box • Compared
GMO’s (Genetically modified organisms) • What are they? • How are they made? • Chosen gene is cut with restriction enzymes, leaving “sticky ends” • Circular bacterial DNA is cut with same restriction enzymes, leaving “sticky ends” • Cut pieces are joined together, so bacteria now produces protein in gene
