Presentation Transcript

  1. Genetic Engineering Vocabulary • Plasmid – A circular piece of DNA found in bacteria. • 2) Genetic markers – A location in the DNA that are • associated with a particular trait that differ among • individuals. Watch the slide show and draw your picture in the boxes!

  2. Cloning - A process used to create copies of DNA • fragments, cells, or organisms. • DNA Fingerprinting – A process that uses the unique parts of the genetic code to identify a person. • Example: Paternity • testing

  3. Plasmids are Used to Replicate a Recombinant DNA Plasmids are small circles of DNA found in bacteria. Plasmids replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. Pieces of foreign DNA can be added within a plasmid to create a recombinant plasmid. Replication often produces 50-100 copies of a recombinant plasmid in each cell.

  4. Human Insulin Production by Bacteria and cut with a restriction enzyme 6) join the plasmid and human fragment

  5. DNA, the Law, and Many Other Applications – The Technology of DNA Fingerprinting A DNA fingerprint used in a murder case. The defendant stated that the blood on his clothing was his. What are we looking at? How was it produced?

  6. DNA Fingerprinting Basics Different individuals carry different alleles. Most alleles useful for DNA fingerprinting differ on the basis of the number of repetitive DNA sequences they contain.
