impact of genomics

QuestionAnswer
is a branch of science that uses living organisms to manufacture food, drugs, or other products. Biotechnology
Another popular biotechnological technique that is frequently used by society is selective breeding
Using this technique, farmers or ranchers select certain crops or animals to breed based off of desirable traits
who studies on natural selection and Gregor Mendel's studies in genetics helped to explain the scientific mechanism behind this popular technique. Charles Darwin
Recent what such as genetic engineering, gene therapy, and genetic counseling, require more advanced technology and a more advanced prior knowledge of natural systems biotechnology methods
All genetic modification techniques involve inserting, deleting, or substituting DNA segments
what year scientists began mapping the human genome 1980
crops such as tomatoes, corn, and cotton or animals such as cattle and sheep can be genetically modified to be more resistant to diseases that often infect them
were attempting to identify all of the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA and find the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA. Human Genome Project
The scientists completed the Human Genome Project in 2003
involves the diagnosis and treatment of different genetic diseases Molecular medicine
involves the use of genetically engineered bacteria for bioremediation, pollutant detection, the production of biofuels, and more Microbial genomics
involves the study of human evolution and migration Bioarchaeology
involves the use of DNA to help solve crimes, including the use of a DNA fingerprint DNA forensics
involves the genetic engineering of pest- or drought-resistant crops, healthier farm animals, biopesticides, crops containing life-saving vaccines, and more Agricultural genetic engineering
As you can see from the list above, many of the applications of the Human Genome Project involve genetic engineering
Genetic engineering often involves the use of recombinant DNA, which is DNA made from two or more different organisms.
Typically these modifications are made in order to somehow what the organism enhance
All genetic modification techniques involve inserting, deleting, or substituting DNA segments into an organism's natural genomic material
The genomic revolution is having a tremendous impact on the study of natural variation
With the completion of this project comes the hope that genetic manipulation in humans might be able to cure certain genetic disorders
This process of replacing absent or faulty genes is known as gene therapy.
The Human Genome project was an international project whose goal was to map the base pair sequences which make up human DNA. The project began in 1990
The Human Genome Project was actually an international research project. It was originally headed by James D. Watson

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
