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

DNA Worksheet Misanna Gordon SCI 230 December 02‚ 2012 Mitzie Sowell Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. A DNA molecule which is abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of very long chains of monomers and polymers that are called nucleotides. These two chains in particular which composes of DNA strain are then formed by the grouping of the nucleotides into the polynucleotides. The

Associate Program Material Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells Worksheet Provide a list describing at least three differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: 1. While Prokaryotes contain just one copy of each gene‚ eukaryotic cells have two. For such reason‚ prokaryotes are known as haploid and eukaryotic as diploid. 2. While Prokaryotes see some nonessential genes being encoded into extra-chromosomal plasmids‚ such activity is typically absent in Eukaryotic cells. 3. The own way

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA is a polymer‚ which is a chemical compound or a mixture of compounds consisting of repeating structural units. These repeating structures are created through polymerization. The monomer‚ meaning one part‚ units of DNA are nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a five carbon sugar‚ also known as deoxyribose‚ and nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar

DNA made up of units called nucleotides‚ nucleotides are made up of three molecules components‚ a nitrogen base‚ a sugar‚ and a phosphate (Simon‚ Reece‚ Dickey‚ 2010). The nucleotides are joined together by bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next producing

to another. This is called “genetic engineering.” Genetic engineering also refers to the artificial modification of the genetic code of any living organism. Genetic engineering changes the original physical nature of the organism‚ sometimes in ways that would never occur in nature. Genes from one organism are inserted in another organism‚ most often across natural species boundaries. Some of the effects become known‚ but most do not. There are some examples of genetic engineering that have created

The use or manipulation of an individual genetic material in order to produce desired characteristics or result in the same individual is undoubtly changing society relationship with nature and with perhaps its own cultural values. It has been predicted for the year 2020 "people will have new definition of health and illness." It affects the moral values of human beings as well as the other living things. The competing goods in genetic engineering that is creating a stronger human race versus nature
