Applications of cell culture Mass culture of animal cell lines is fundamental to the manufacture of viral vaccines and other products of biotechnology Biological products produced by recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology in animal cell cultures include enzymes‚ synthetic hormones‚ immunobiologicals (monoclonal antibodies‚ interleukins‚ lymphokines)‚ and anticancer agents. Although many simpler proteins can be produced using rDNA in bacterial cultures‚ more complex proteins that are glycosylated (carbohydrate-modified)

Cloning plants Many plants clone themselves naturally to reproduce. They send a small shoot-like structure called a runner‚ along the soil. The runner grows into a new separate plant‚ which is genetically identical to the original plant - a clone. People can clone plants by simply taking a cutting of the plant such as a twig or stem and planting it. This is called vegetative propagation. Horticulturists use cloning to grow plants with specific qualities‚ like height‚ flower colour and quality

bringing the idea of an Ironman or Superman-like combatant to life by developing methods to enhance American soldiers towards forming a the most advanced‚ efficient military (Jacobsen). These methods stem from biotechnology‚ dating back thousands of years ago‚ and during the biotechnology revolution of the late 20th century‚ scientists learned to alter the genetic constitution of living organisms (Smith). Genetic engineering is used on our warfighters as we want our soldiers to enter the battlegrounds

Oryx & Crake Technology Report: Biotechnology & Genography At the first look at the title of this report‚ you will be thinking ‘Oh wow‚ he is so out of touch with what is going on in the world today that he doesn’t even know genetic engineering/ gene splicing is already in effect.’ I am fully aware that many different genetically modified organisms are being researched on‚ such as the Flavr Savr Tomato on 1997‚ as well as corn crops being much more resistant to the cold weather in the north

Biology Article Isaac Ayers Professor Carol Hoban SCI115012VA016-1136-001 Introduction to Biology August 2‚ 2013 * The title of the article that I have chosen for this assignment is “The Era of Memory Engineering Has Arrived”. The article begins by explaining a basic plot of a sci-fi movie in which the main character has had his memories altered by scientists using electrode caps. The article then goes into detail about how a new set of experiments‚ led by MIT neuroscientists

are people who firmly believe that GM is definitely not the route to food security and poverty alleviation because the root cause of hunger is caused by access and inequality‚ and not by inadequate food production. On the other side are mainly biotechnology multinationals that are aware of the commercial interests that can be generated from the sale of GM crops‚ therefore they attempt to bring them into the country and establish that they are the solution to hunger in a bid to hide their motives.

organism in which the genetic material has been modified using modern biotechnology. How does GM food be produced? Nowadays‚ scientists can identify and modify genes controlling specific characteristics using modern biotechnology. They use a variety of biotechnology‚ such as biochemical "scissors" to cut the DNA sequence at a specific place‚ and then select the desired gene to be addressed. With the help of biotechnology‚ genes can be inactivated more selectively and precisely‚ or transferred
