biotechnology - the use of technology to modify organisms, cells, and their molecules to
achieve practical benefits.
genetic engineering - the manipulation of organisms' genetic material by adding, deleting,
or transplanting genes from one organism to another
4 tools of biotechnology - chop, amplify, insert, grow
Chop... - up DNA from a donor species that exhibits a trait of interest.
amplify... - small samples of DNA into more useful quantities
insert... - pieces of DNA into bacteria cells or viruses
grow... - separate colonies of bacteria or viruses, each containing some donor DNA
CRISPR - system for editing DNA with a great deal of precision and efficiency
CRISPR is what for DNA? - photoshop
CRISPR enables researchers to... - modify almost any gene in any organism

CRISPR naturally occurs in almost ___ of all __________ as a mechanism for recording
encounters with _______ _____ and using that information to protect against
____________ __________. - 1/2, bacteria, viral DNA, future infections
with CRISPR, ___________ DNA can be altered to _______ __________ from
spreading. - mosquito, block malaria
with CRISPR, __________ ______ are under way in which CRISPR-altered ________
________ _______ are being used to fight ________ cells - human trials, white blood
cells, cancer
with CRISPR, __________ have been engineered to be born with _______ as much
_______ as a typical dog - beagles, twice, muscle
Ethical issues of CRISPR? - potential for editing human embryos, potential for editing
germline cells (sperm and egg cells)
legal issues of CRISPR? - surrounding who invented it and who can profit from it.
What can Biotechnology improve? - food nutrition and makes farming more efficient and
eco-friendly.
CRISPR is difficult to predict consequences of... - introducing altered genes into
genomes of natural populations
Recombinant DNA technology... - has sped up biotechnology's process, enabling the
combination of DNA from 2 or more sources into a product
