GMOS
An organism that has had their DNA altered by using genetic engineering techniques
What is a GMO?
What year was cloning publicized?
What is 1885?
Using genetically modified plants or animals to produce medicines or other helpful products, like vaccines.
What is Pharming?
Special cells taken from early embryos that can turn into any type of cell in the body, making them useful for research and treatments.
What is an Embryonic stem cells?
What is an example of a transgenic animal? (in the slides)
What is a chicken that has been modified to be more plump?
What are the issues regarding cloning? (Name at least two)
What is high fatality rate, unnecessary suffering or pain for a cloned organism, violation of human principles (diversity, equity, etc.)
Living things, like plants or animals, have had their DNA changed to add new traits, such as being resistant to pests or growing faster.
What are GMOs?
A technique used in cloning where the nucleus of a body cell is put into an egg cell that has had its nucleus removed.
What is Somatic cell nuclear transfer?
What do GMOs affect?
What are plants, animals, and microbes?
Who was the first cloned animal?
Who was Dolly the Sheep?
An animal that has been changed to include a gene from another species. This is done to study how genes work or to make things like insulin.
What are Transgenic Aminals?
Egg cell that has had its nucleus removed, which is necessary for cloning since it allows for the insertion of a new nucleus.
What is an Enucleated oocyte?
What are the impacts of GMOs? (you only need to name 2)
What is improvement in human health, enhanced nutrients, increased animal welfare, and decrease in livestock disease?
Artifical cloning can be done in two ways...
What is a Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (theraputic cloning) and Reproductive Cloning (artificial embryo twinning?)
A method used to create a new organism that is a genetic copy of another. This is often done using techniques like somatic cell nuclear transfer.*
What is Reproductive Cloning?
Any cell in the body that isn’t a sperm or egg cell. These cells have a full set of DNA and are used in cloning.
What is a Somatic cell?
Higher product yields (crops and meat) and fewer use of pesticides?
What are the benefits of a GMO?
What do scientists do with embryonic stem cells?
What is taking embryonic stem cells from early embryos that can turn into any cell in the body, making them useful for research and treatments?
Creating cloned embryos to harvest stem cells, which can be used to treat diseases or repair damaged tissues.
What is Therapeutic Cloning?
A somatic cell's nucleus is placed into an enucleated egg cell. This embryo can develop into a clone if implanted into a surrogate mother.
What is a Reconstituted embryo?
