  1. Genetic Engineering Biotechnology

  2. February 1, 2010Do Now: What is being described by this picture?

  3. Genetic Engineering

  4. What are some of the ways scientists use their knowledge of DNA?

  5. Genetic Engineering: Agriculture Manufacturing Medicine

  6. Genetic Engineering is the manipulation of the DNA in cells, to change hereditary traits. • It is allows scientists to put genes from one organism into another organism.

  7. Mistake

  8. Transgenic An organism that has DNA of another species

  9. Genetic Engineering

  10. Transgenic

  11. Green Mice: Mouse + Plant Gene

  12. Tobacco plant + Jellyfish gene =Transgenic Plant

  13. Transgenic White Rabbit DNA from the Glowing Fish The gene that makes it glow Glowing Rabbit

  14. Injecting foreign DNA into a Mouse Cell

  15. Gene Splicing Cut a segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein. For example the gene that makes the hormone insulinfor people who have diabetes.

  16. Gene is placed into Bacteria DNA Bacteria now makes insulin

  17. Controversial WHY?

  18. Negative Aspects • Violates the integrity of life • Unethical • Do human beings know what is best? • Puts species at risk • Does not take into account changing conditions

  19. Genetic Engineering

  20. ClosureWhat are some of the ways scientists use their knowledge of DNA?

  21. Response:1. Solving Crimes2. Agriculture3. Manufacturing medicine4. Testing for disease

  22. Is genetically modified food safe?What are the potential long term effects?
