NEW BIOTECH
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Selective breeding | make new genetic combinations/ offspring with desirable traits with 2 different traits by mating, breeding, and crossing. Plants or animals ex: dog breeds |
| artificial selection | make new genetic combinations/ offspring with desirable traits with 2 different traits by mating, breeding, and crossing. Plants or animals ex: dog breeds |
| hybridization | make new genetic combinations/ offspring with desirable traits with 2 different traits by mating, breeding, and crossing. Plants or animals ex: dog breeds |
| inbreeding | mating 2 animals with the same traits |
| Genetic engineering | manipulating the DNA in a lab/ making DNA done with ENZYMES |
| Enzymes | cut and pasting - taken from genes in chromosomes- desired human gene cut desired human gene cut and inserted into bacteria(reproduce fast to make a lot) ex: insulin |
| what are enzymes involves in | _______ are involved in genetic engineering |
| gene therapy | replacing a faulty/ absent version of a gene no need for medicine/ Ce divide and make more "fixed", normal versions of gene ex: cystic fibrosis, sickle cell, PKU |
| sickle cell anemia | blood disorder where red blood cells become rigid, sticky, and crescent-shaped, reducing oxygen flow |
| PKU | inherited metabolic disorder that prevents the body from breaking down an amino acid called phenylalanine, leading to dangerous accumulation in the blood and brain |
| cystic fibrosis | inherited genetic disorder that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other organs |
| cloning | make genetically identical offspring, only animals - it's unethical for humans ex: DOLLY the sheep. It can be plants too which is asexual |
| what one is the clone when u clone someone | the one where you take body cell with full DNA -> this is the clone |
