species evolving due to natural




the
biotechnology is
playing an
increasing role in
altering genome


genetic engineering >

any
direct manipulation of an
organism's genes


biotechnology >
using scientific procedures to influence specific processes in
living organisms which will benefit humans or
improve the environment




genes may be turned off Ion , deleted ,
deactivated or inserted
Examples of proteins made by recombinant DNA tech


genetic engineering is the fastest growing branch of modern
genetics


very beneficial

Recombinant DNA technology

a
form of biotechnology that introduces new , beneficial genes
=
genetically modified organisms ( GMOs )


recombinant DNA > a
form of DNA that does not exist naturally but is created
by combining DNA
sequences that would not normally occur
together


genetically modified organisms > an
organism introduced with
foreign genes
that results in new and
useful traits



involves
finding a desirable
gene
and
moving it into the cell
by means
of a vector



vector > a virus (
bacteriophage) or
plasmid that transfers foreign genetic material into another cell




plasmid > circular , double stranded DNA molecule found in bacterial cells that are not part of the bacterial chromosomes




the new
organism will follow new
genes inserted instructions and make the protein for which the
gene codes




if the
genes are
placed into bacteria done copies would be produced =
large quantities of desirable proteins produced


manufacture of human insulin (all )
thanks to human
genome project

human technology
biosynthetic insulin made via recombinant DNA



levels ( Usually Diabetics )
Insulin : hormone that lowers glucose sugar in blood would have too much
glucose in blood




process
mmmm




1. DNA
gene
that codes for insulin is removed from a
healthy human pancreatic cell



2. Restriction
enzymes cut specific sites to isolate insulin
coding gene

3. Escherichia (E coli ) found human plasmid removed cut ends )
coli .
in
digestive tract and cut via restriction
enzymes uneven =
sticky


4.
Enzyme ligase joins DNA pieces and insulin
coding gene
into bacterial plasmid = recombinant DNA



5. Plasmid & recombinant DNA vector and is inserted in host cell CE bacterium ) protein insulin (E. Gmo )
acts as re coli
reprogrammed to
produce coli

6. Bacteria kept in
