Selective Breeding
selective breeding
-allow only organisms with desired traits to mate
1.Hybridization: cross 2 genetically different individuals to bring together the best traits of both organisms inbreeding: the continued breeding individuals with similar characteristics
B.DNA Technology
DNA finger printing (gel electrophoresis) analysis of DNA sections that vary between individuals procedure i.restriction enzymes cut DNA into fragments at specific base pair sequences electrical current moves through DNA through gel
Fragments separate by size: shortened DNA move farther than long.
Every one banding pattern is unique
Uses:
forensics
Comparing DNA sample fro crime scene it suspects victim paternity test diagnose genetic disorder determine evolutionary relationships
3. Genetic engineering (recombinations DNA) genes from one organism transferred into DNA of another organism procedure A restriction enzyme cuts out the desired gene
Another enzyme splices desired gene into DNA of another organism . (DNA with new gene is called recombinant DNA) cells reproduce & new cells contain copies of the recombination DNA, which directs to produce desired protein.
Other genetically modified organisms (GMO)
-enabling plants to produce new proteins protect crops from insects: BT corn corn produces a bacterial toxin that kills corn borer (caterpillar pest of corn )
Extended growing season: fish berries strawberries with an anti- freezing gene from flounder improve quality of food: Golden rice rice producing vitamin A, improves nutritional value
Gene Therapy: Use recombination DNA technology produce human cells with “normal” gene to counteract disorder.
Cloning
producing a genetically identical organism (clone) from a single cell
To clone animals: (i.e Dolly) using 3 different sheep
Egg cell removed from sheep #1
Nucleus removed from egg cell
Nucleus from cell of sheep #2 placed into empty egg cell egg implanted into uterus of sheep

    6) Recombinant DNA is created from joining two different fragments. In the process of studying recombinant DNA, large amounts of recombinant DNA are needed. The recombinant DNA is transferred into the bacterium through a carrier/vector. Plasmids and viruses are commonly used vectors. An enzyme, DNA ligase, joins the 2 DNA fragments chemically.…

    Xenotransplantation is the transplantation of living cells, tissues or organs from one species to another such as from pigs to humans ( Medical grafting). Such cells, tissues or organs are called xenografts or xenotransplants. The term allotransplantation refers to a same-species transplant. Human xenotransplantation offers a potential treatment for end-stage organ failure, a significant health problem in parts of the industrialized world and worldwide shortage of organs for clinical implantation. It also raises many novel medical, legal and ethical issues. A continuing concern is that pigs have different lifespans than humans and their tissues age at a different rate. Disease transmission (xenozoonosis) and permanent alteration to the genetic code of animals are a cause for concern. Genetic engineering, recombinant DNA technology, genetic modification/ manipulation (GM) and gene splicing are terms that are applied to the manipulation of genes. It involves the isolation, manipulation and reintroduction of DNA into cells or model organisms, usually express a protein to reach desired effects. Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of something. Genetic recombination is the process by which a strand of DNA is broken and then joined to the end of a different DNA molecule. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using the genetic engineering techniques generally known as recombinant DNA technology.…

    In biology restriction enzymes are used in several ways to modify and manipulate DNA molecules. One common use is to compare pieces of DNA from one that is unknown, with fragments of DNA from another source that the lengths are known. This process requires preparation of small fragments that are appropriate for nucleotide sequence analysis is to provide a map of the distribution of target sites. The cuts occur when palindromes show up in the DNA sequence; the different restriction endonucleases cut these different sites. This is called constructing a restriction map. In this experiment we are given an unknown DNA and use the process of DNA mapping with gel electrophoresis to compare and identify if the given DNA plasmid is of this planet and to describe what the DNA map illustrates.…

    Genetic modification could also potentially be used to improve breeding techniques or to induce cows to produce medical compounds in their milk. Some animals, such as salmon, have been genetically modified to enhance their utility as a farmable food source. Humans Genetic modification of human cells has the potential for treating diseases. One approach, gene therapy, delivers corrected genes into selected cells in the body to treat diseases caused by an absence of an important gene, such as in cystic fibrosis. In these cases the genetic changes are not passed down to future generations.…

    Genes are inserted from E.g. Corn, this term is known as cross breeding where different plants are modified to grow bigger plants and to produce more food. When a gene transfer occurs, the gene is then called a GMO (Genetically modified organism), Genetic engineering is not only used on animals but its also used on many other organisms so it can improve them, such as crops or medicinal plants, bacteria and even viruses.…

    Hybridisation means the breeding of two different types of plants or animals. For example, a mule is the result of the union between a horse and a donkey, two different species. The resulting animal has desirable characteristics from both parents but all mules are sterile and cannot produce any offspring. Hybridisation also occurs between different varieties or breeds within a species, such as dog, cattle or sheep breeds. Many, probably most agricultural animals and plants are the result of hybridisation. This results in offspring with desirable…

    Selective breeding in dogs. Also known as artificial selection, is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to develop particular traits on the animals such as how they look or to produce certain exaggerated traits. There are many different types of traits that make reason for selective breeding, mainly physical, and only some for good emotional and disease blocking purposes. In a lot of ways, this is similar to inbreeding in humans. Selective Breeding a bad thing because of the treacherous things that can happen because of it, the funding of something that produces less good than there ever will be, selective breeding.…

    Over the years medicine has evolved drastically, reaping extreme advantages for more than half the world's population. One form of medicine is gene therapy, a technique first developed in 1972 and one that has grown into a promising treatment option for many genetic mutations, diseases, or syndromes. The more time passes, the stronger gene therapy gets in being a promising solution treatment option. The ultimate goal is to present information that explains why gene therapy is beneficial to society and how it has and will continue, to help provide normal lives for young patients, cure adults of rare diseases or conditions, and improve the overall standard of living of all patients.…

    Most animals and plants reproduce sexually. Sexually reproducing organisms have different sets of genes for every trait . Offspring inherit one allele for each trait from each parent, thereby ensuring that offspring have a combination of the parents' genes. Diploid having two copies of every gene within an organism, it is believed that "the masking of deleterious alleles favors the evolution of a dominant diploid phase in organisms that alternate between haploid and diploid phases" where recombination occurs…
