-

a number of diseases result from individuals being unable to produce for themselves various


metabolic chemicals ,
many of which are proteins g. insulin e. which are the product of
a
gene
↳ treatment of these previously involved extracting the chemical from a



human animal donor and introducing it to the patient

is accepted by different species and functions normally due to

being the same .
: transferred DNA can be transcribed and translated normally
in the transgenic organism

, METHODS TO PRODUCE DNA FRAGMENTS
-
before it can be transplanted ,
it must be identified and isolated from the rest of
the DNA as a
fragment by :



•
conversion of mRNA into cDNA
using reverse transcriptase

using restriction endonucleases
to cut
fragments containing the desired
°


gene
•

creating the gene in a
gene
machine based on known protein structure


REVERSETRANSPTASE
-
retroviruses e.
g.
Hiv have them coded information on the form of RNA yet
in a host cell synthesise DNA using the
they are able to
enzyme reverse


transcription which catalyses production of DNA from RNA

-
cell readily producing the protein is selected

e.
g. B cells of islets of langerhans produce insulin

-

cells have large quantities of relevant mRNA which
is more
easily extracted

-



reverse transcriptase is this used to make DNA from
it
RNA
,
this ☐
complementary DNA LCDNA ) because ☐


made up of nucleotides complementary to mRNA



-
to
form the other strand of DNA ,
DNA polymerase is used
to build up the complementary nucleotides on the cDNA

template

-




double stranded DNA is
the required gene
