Week 8 Assignment 2: Gene Technology Introduction to Biology Mr. James Cox March 3‚ 2013 Gene technology is the term given to a range of activities concerned with understanding the expression of genes‚ taking advantage of natural genetic variation‚ modifying genes and transferring genes to new hosts. Gene technology sits within the broader area of biotechnology – the use of living things to make or change products. Humans have been using biotechnology for centuries

GENE MUTATION‚TYPES OF MUTATIONS 1. Gene Mutation A Gene Mutation is defined as an alternation in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. It can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code which lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop disease. What causes Gene Mutation? → Gene mutations are most commonly caused as a result of two types of occurrences. 1. Environmental factors Ex) chemicals‚ radiation

Gene Cloning Clone: A group of identical cells or organisms To clone a gene: 1) Insert the gene into a vector that can carry the into a host cell 2) Ensure that it will replicate there 3) Insertion is carried out by cutting the vector and the DNA to be inserted with the same restriction endonuclease to ensure that both have the same "sticky ends" Vector for cloning the bacteria come from two major types: (1) Plasmids‚ and (2) Phages Recombinant DNA Technology A) It was developed in

Friendship between Finny and Gene The book A Separate Peace follows a boy named Gene‚ and his friend Finny. As the story goes on‚ it’s obvious that their friendship ends. Although the two friends are split apart‚ this story is a bestseller among many audiences‚ and many consider it the best book they’ve ever read. Finny and Gene’s relationship in A Separate Peace rotates from being close friends to not friends‚ and disliking each other. In the story‚ Finny says‚ “We go together‚ a double jump” (59)

Describing theories TASK 1(P1) Introduction The theory I have chosen to discuss is the theory of inheritance‚ which is attributed largely to Gregor Mendel who lived from 1822 to 1884 and was considered to be a mathematical scientist who introduced the science of genetics. Observation During the period of 1858 to 1866‚ Mendel observed the different characteristics that where inherited by living creatures. He done this by breading garden peas in his monastery garden and analyzing the offspring

multiple cloning site (MCS) which is artificially implanted by adding a polylinker sequence to it. The pUC19 plasmid is also altered by inserting a gene that codes for beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (Read and Strachan 2011). The MCS occupies the 5’ end of the gene lacZ (Sherwood‚ Willey and Woolverton 2012). This gene codes for only the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase‚ an enzyme used to break down the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose (Read and

protagonist‚ Gene Forrester‚ a seemingly happy boy‚ hides fear and paranoia within. His best friend and the antagonist of the story‚ Finny‚ is his greatest competition. Throughout their years at school together‚ they become inseparable. But‚ as their friendship grows deeper‚ Gene’s paranoia grows with it. Finny is the schools top athlete and is loved and known by everyone. As the story progresses‚ Gene becomes something of his side-kick. Although this may be happening‚ Gene only thinks Finny is trying

How will Gene Doping effect the sports industry? Gene Doping is a different type of gene therapy that has caused a lot of controversy in the past 6-7 years due to the capability of what this method of doping could do. Gene doping therapy was started at Harvard in 1999 and was specifically used to get a substantial rise in the performance of athletes. This is done by genetically modifying cells to enhancing athletic performance. Gene therapy is done by using genes to help treat or stop diseases.

Gene Splicing What Is It? Gene Splicing is one type of genetic technology. It is the process of taking pieces of DNA from one or more organisms then combining them into another DNA strand to create new DNA or recombinant DNA. How does it Work? Chemicals called restriction enzymes are used as scissors to cut the DNA. Thousands of these restriction enzymes exist‚ each recognizing only a single sequence of DNA. Once it finds that sequence in a strand of DNA‚ it attacks it and splits the base pairs
