GENETIC ENGINEERING GENETIC ENGINEERING GENERAL STEPS What is Genetic Engineering? Genetic Engineering = inserting a foreign gene of interest into a host to transcribe and translate a particular protein. Ex. Inserting the human insulin gene into bacteria to mass produce it. General Steps Obtain the gene of interest (ex. insulin gene) Insert the gene into the host (ex. bacteria) Allow the host to multiply and express the foreign gene get your desired protein! Get lots of cells that can

Genetic engineering‚ also called genetic modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence‚ or by synthesizing the DNA‚ and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed‚ or "knocked out"‚ using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that useshomologous recombination to

Engineering dilemma. ‘Engineering ethics’ refer to the ethical issues involved in the engineering profession. Ethics are concerned with moral decisions in professional behaviour. Whilst morality generally refers to any aspect of human action‚ ethics is concerned with making the ‘right’ decisions in a professional context. Engineering ethics and consideration of the impact of engineering on the environment are issues of relevance and importance to any engineer or engineering student. Ethics is concerned

Interest group representation in Canada identifies society ’s influence on the governing body and the policies decided upon in the legislative setting. The composition of interest groups has evolved over time and has lead to study of three distinct approaches to the power the representational groups have. The growth and change of interests in the Canadian state are dependent upon the structure between societal and government values. An interest group refers to a group of individuals bound together
