1.) Biotechnology- it is a technology which uses the living organisms or their product to useful chemicals, products, or to perform various industrial tasks and which beneficial for human beings directly or indirectly.
2.) Genetic engineering- it is also called recombinant DNA technology/genetic modification/ genetic manipulation.
This is an group of techniques which are used to cut up and join together genetic material, most probably the DNA from various species and introduce the newly formed recombined or hybrid DNA into an organism to get new forms of genetic heritability material.
By this techniques, it is clear that the recombinant DNA or rDNA is formed.
3.) Genetically modified organisms (GMO) - These are the organisms( plants, animals or microbes) whose genetic material has been changed or altered by using techniques of genetic engineering from their naturally occurring genome.
4.) Transgenic organisms - These are a type or specific example of GMOs in these type of organisms the change in genetic material is because of transfer of gene from different species.
DNA Technology What is biotechnology? • What is genetic engineering? How does it relate to recombinant...
What are some safety and ethical concerns raised by the use of recombinant DNA technology? What are some dangers of introducing genetically engineered organisms into the environment?
Consider the controversy around genetically modified organisms. How does industrial biotechnology fit into the discussions about GMOs in past units? Compare the two, looking at the benefits and risks of each. What are the environmental benefits of industrial biotechnology?
Questions? BIOTECHNOLOGY: Describe and explain what restriction enzymes are? what their important characteristic are, and how they work, and how they can be used for forensic applications( RFLP analysis) Explain and understand gel electrophoresis, how does IT sort Dna by size? You should understand what PCR is and the basic of how IT works and its forensic applications (STR analysis) of present with a gel fragment pattern, you should be able to interpret it.
In 1994, Congress passed the DNA Identification Act which authorized the FBI to do 2 things: (1) create and maintain a national DNA database, and (2) establish standards for forensic DNA testing. Because the human genome is full of DNA tandem repeats and because they vary in the number of contiguous repeat units, it was decided to use tandem repeats to build the DNA database. In 1996, 13 loci were chosen to be the core short tandem repeats (STR) for...
24. What would be the anticodon if the template strand of DNA Is ACC A UCC B.) TGG UGG D. ACC E. TCC 25. Prior to protein synthesis, the DNA A. attracts tRNAs with appropriate amino acids. 6.) serves as a template for the production of mRNA. C. adheres to ribosomes for protein synthesis. D. contains anticodons that become codons. E. must first undergo replication. 26. The Human Genome Project has revealed that human DNA has approximately A. 30,000 bases...
Case questions: What are some major points discussed in the case? Does Monsanto maintain an ethical culture that effectively responds to various stakeholders? How should Monsanto manage the potential harm to plant and animal life from using products such as Roundup? Using the “Four Lenses” to ethical decision making, how do you think Monsanto should handle this ethical dilemma? Monsanto Attempts to Balance Stakeholder Interests Monsanto is a company that has been around since 1901. They have renovated their company...

2 What is the minimum genotype of a recombinant cell that grew on minimal media supplemented with arginine, methionine and the antibiotic tetracycline but lacking the essential amino acid isoleucine 3 How would you determine if your recombinant cells had also acquired the tryptophan gene from the Hart Complete the following table indicating which of the organisms (F and/or Hfr used in this experiment would be expected to grow on the given media. Unless specified, MMD is just minimal medium...
