Genetic Modification (genetic Engineering)
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
What if you could take a single gene from one organism and place it inside another to give it entirely new capabilities? That is exactly what genetic modification makes possible. Scientists now routinely insert human genes into bacteria to manufacture life-saving medicines, and engineer crop plants to resist pests or survive drought.
This topic walks you through the tools of genetic engineering: restriction enzymes that cut DNA at precise locations, ligase that joins fragments together, plasmids and viruses that carry genes into new cells, and the fermenter technology that scales production to industrial levels. You will also explore the benefits and concerns surrounding genetically modified crops and the meaning of the term transgenic.
Ebumnobi
- Understand how restriction enzymes are used to cut DNA at specific sites and ligase enzymes are used to join pieces of DNA together
- Understand how plasmids and viruses can act as vectors, which take up pieces of DNA, and then insert this recombinant DNA into other cells
- Understand how large amounts of human insulin can be manufactured from genetically modified bacteria that are grown in a fermenter
- Understand how genetically modified plants can be used to improve food production
- Understand that the term transgenic means the transfer of genetic material from one species to a different species
