Presentation Transcript

  1. Biology – The Continuity of Life • Objective 3 & 4 • Describe the various ways genetic engineering can change the organisms around us. • Demonstrate how DNA can be manipulated and used by science.

  2. Restriction Enzymes • What do they do? • They cut DNA in one specific spot • Where found…? • Found in bacteria • What is their natural role…? • Bacteria use them as defense, to cut out virus DNA that has infected them

  3. Restriction Enzymes • 2 Examples & their sites… • EcoRI • HinDIII …G GATCC… …CCTAG G…

  4. Restriction Enzymes • What is a sticky end? • Some enzymes do not cut straight across DNA • Some leave an “overhang” • Can be used to connect 2 DNA strands • What is a RFLP? • The small pieces left when a restriction enzyme cuts DNA into pieces
