Steps of Bacterial Transformation
Selective Breeding
100
in 2003, the project identified all the genes in human DNA and the three billion bases of human DNA in order to identify and possibly cure diseases.
What is Human Genome Project
100
The human insulin gene has been successfully inserted into the bacteria resulting in new bacterium
What is Step Four
100
Selective breeding involves mating organisms with different desirable traits to get offspring with the desirable traits of _________ parent(s)
What is both
200
Altering genes in an effort to treat or prevent human diseases
What is Gene Therapy
200
A bacteria with a small piece on DNA (plasmid) is identified to serve a vector in the production of insulin
What is Step one
200
One advantage of selective breeding is that you might get __________ organisms
What is improved
300
Field that studies the function and structure on genomes
What is Genomics
300
The human insulin gene (made of DNA) is inserted into the plasmid DNA
What is step three
400
Analysis of sections of DNA that vary widely from one individual to another, in order to identify individuals.
What is DNA Fingerprinting
400
The new bacterium replicates many times; the inserted human insulin gene is expressed resulting in insulin production
What is step five
500
DNA produced by combining DNA from different sources.
What is Recombinant DNA
500
The plasmid is cut open by restriction enzymes
What is step two
