13.1 What is biotechnology?
The use of organisms to perform practical tasks for humans
The use of organisms to perform practical tasks for humans
13.1 Biologists Manipulate DNA
Today, we mainly manipulate the genomes of organisms.
We called this act of manipulation DNA technology.

13.1 Bacteria – Commonly used in Biotechnology
* because they can acquire new genes in many ways!
1. Tunnel-like structure forms between 2 bacteria so DNA can be passed-Conjugation
2. Transformation – bacteria can “take up” free floating DNA into their own DNA
3. Viruses can carry bacterial genes from one bacteria to another- transduction.

13.1 Recombinant DNA Technology
Definition - technology involving the combining of DNA and/or genes from different sources (even genes from different species).
Uses of DNA technology:1. Make more nutritious crops (ex. Corn)2. Make medicine in large quantities3. Help us understand specifically how gene
sequences work

13.2 Engineering Bacteria
Bacteria contain plasmids Plasmids are small circular pieces of DNA
separate from the bacterial chromosome.
Plasmids carry genes

Plasmids carry genes
13.2 Plasmids Scientists can manipulate plasmids to
make them useful to us and Bacteria can transfer plasmids!!
Example: 1. Insert a gene to make a medicine into a
plasmid2. Put the plasmid into bacteria3. When the bacteria reproduce they make
many copies of the medicine!

13.2 How Do They Do It???
1. Cut Use restriction enzymesrestriction enzymes to cut
the desired DNA/gene out of a larger chromosome
2. Paste Put the desired DNA/gene
fragment into a plasmid
3. Put the plasmid into a bacterium
4. As the bacterium reproduces it makes many copies of the desired gene!! (Page 270 Case Study)

13.2 Genomic Library & Nucleic Acid Probes
Genomic Library: the complete collection of cloned DNA fragments from an organism
Nucleic Acid Probe: complimentary nucleotides labeled with a radioactive isotope used to “tag” single strand of a DNA sequence of choice.

13.2 FYI: Useful Products Using Genetic Engineering
1. Bacteria make chemicals that clean up hazardous spills and toxic waste sites
2. Bacteria are mass-producing useful chemicals like pesticides and therapeutic drugs
3. Pigs & Cattle make human insulin hormone in their milk for people with diabetes
4. Recombinant DNA technology is used to develop Vaccines – Hepatitis B (viral proteins are massed produced in yeast cells then used in vaccines)

13.3 Genetically Modified 13.3 Genetically Modified OrganismsOrganisms
A genetically modified organism (GMO)genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism that has acquired any genes artificially.
If a species is called TRANSGENICTRANSGENIC if it has foreign genetic material from a different species.

Over 50% of soybean and corn crops were genetically modified in some way!
Most common genetic modifications: Genes for herbicide resistance Genes to resist insect and fungi pests

Goals for GMO animals… Produce mass quantities of hormones (insulin) Get animals to market quicker (salmon) Breed animals with better quality products
(sheep wool) FUN!! $$$$$$$

13.3 The GMO Controversy13.3 The GMO Controversy
Although studies to date have shown that eating genetically modified foods have no negative health affects…people continue
to demand stricter regulations.
Major Concern:Major Concern:GMO food can pose unknown health risk…
request strict labeling laws

13.4 DNA Tech Has Many Applications PCR or Polymerase PCR or Polymerase
Chain ReactionChain Reaction technique can mass produce specific sequences of DNA without the use of living cells Takes less time than
use of living cells Requires less amount
of desired DNA initially Used for cloning rare
DNA & ID small amounts of infectious DNA (AIDS)

13.4 Gel Electrophoresis13.4 Gel Electrophoresis Used when you want to compare DNA
from different sources. Produces “banding patterns” which can
be compared and analyzed.

13.4 Comparing DNA: How it works! (Pg 279)
2.DNA “fragments” move through gel using electric current.

1.Different DNA samples are cut into “fragments” by restriction enzymes

Each sample produces different banding patterns in the gel so they are easily compared

13.4 Comparing DNA: Genetic Markers
Genetic Markers: are particular streches of DN that are variable among individuals. Can be used to ID
carriers of certain diseases

13.4 Comparing DNA: 13.4 Comparing DNA: DNADNA FingerprintFingerprint
Just like every person has their own unique fingerprint…everyone has a unique banding pattern produced by their restriction fragments in gel electrophoresis.
97% of our DNA is “junk” or non-coding and is extremely different from any other persons “junk” DNA.
Forensics!!

13.5 Stem Cells and Homeotic 13.5 Stem Cells and Homeotic GenesGenes
Stem cells – cells (early in development) that remain undifferentiated and have the potential to be any type of cell.
Homeotic Genes – genes that control development of specific locations in organisms.

Cloning
To make a clone: A donor cell is fused with
an egg cell The fused cell begins to
divide normally to form an embryo
Embryo is placed in uterus of foster mom
Clone is born
