Genetic Engineering (after self-paced activity/hw)

A technique used to replace missing or defective genes in individuals with genetic disorders

• Selective breeding (also known as artificial selection)

• Gene Splicing (production of Transgenic / Genetically Modified Organisms)

• Cloning

A process used to make genetically identical copies of an individual

• Selective breeding (also known as artificial selection)

Where humans choose which individuals of a population mate so that, over generations, all individuals offspring have only the traits that humans prefer

• Selective breeding (also known as artificial selection)

• Gene Therapy

• Gene Splicing (production of Transgenic / Genetically Modified Organisms)

• Cloning

A set of steps where genes from one organism are placed into the DNA of an organism of a different species, with the goal of having that organism produce the trait of the other species

• Selective breeding (also known as artificial selection)

• Gene Therapy

• Gene Splicing (production of Transgenic / Genetically Modified Organisms)

Farmers identified characteristics in wild plants that they wanted to keep and planted seeds from those plants, gradually emphasizing certain traits and producing various crops with the biggest, tastiest traits

• Gene Therapy

• Gene Splicing (production of Transgenic / Genetically Modified Organisms)

• Cloning

Hereditary blindness usually causes a person to lose their sight when the light-sensing cells of the eyes stop working due to DNA that doesn't produce the right protein. By adding the correct version of a gene to a virus and injecting that virus into an afflicted person, the cells in a person with LCA hereditary blindness can be fixed.

Scientists took the DNA from a fish species that grows very quickly. They added that DNA to a salmon species so that the newly created salmon grow much more quickly.

Scientists have taken the DNA from one adult pig and put it into the egg cell of a different adult female pig. After inserting the egg cell into the womb a female pig, it developed and was born. That newly born pig had exactly the same DNA as the pig who donated its DNA for the process
