Impact of genomics!
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what does genetic engineering usually require | involves the use of recombinant DNA |
| and the process of what? | manipulating genes |
| what does this list indicate? | that many of the qualifications required genetic engineering |
| Agricultural genetic engineering | involves the genetic engineering of pest- or drought-resistant crops, healthier farm animals, bio pesticides, crops containing life-saving vaccines, and more |
| DNA forensics | involves the use of DNA to help solve crimes, including the use of a DNA fingerprint (the unique pattern of dark bands on photographic film that is made when an individual’s DNA restriction fragments are separated by gel electrophoresis, probed, and then |
| Bioarchaeology and anthropology | involves the study of human evolution and migration |
| Microbial genomics | involves the use of genetically engineered bacteria for bioremediation, pollutant detection, the production of biofuels, and more |
| molecular medicine | involves the diagnosis and treatment of different genetic diseases |
| what was the project called? | Human Genome Project |
| how long did the project last | 13 yrs |
| what hope comes from this project? | With the completion of this project comes the hope that genetic manipulation in humans might be able to cure certain genetic disorders. |
| gene therapy | This process of replacing absent or faulty genes |
| 2003 | This project was completed |
| 1980 | scientists began mapping the human genome |
| what does genetic modification require? | Genetic modification techniques require extensive knowledge of the organism's genome, however, because genes cannot be safely manipulated if the traits that they express are unknown. |
| what does genetic modification require? | All genetic modification techniques involve inserting, deleting, or substituting DNA segments into an organism's natural genomic material. |
| what techniques required more advanced technology? | genetic engineering, gene therapy, and genetic counseling |
| who studied selective breeding? | Charles Darwin |
| who else | Gregor Mendel |
| what is selective breeding | Using this technique, farmers or ranchers select certain crops or animals to breed based off of desirable traits |
| what is another popular technique | selective breeding |
| what are some examples of biotechnology | Whenever yeast is used to bake bread or whenever grapes, malt, or milk is fermented to make wine, beer, or cheese, someone is using biotechnology. |
| how long has Rudimentary biotechnology been around | Rudimentary biotechnology has been around for thousands of years. |
| what is biotechnology? | a branch of science that uses living organisms to manufacture food, drugs, or other products. |
