Genetic Engineering, Artificial Selection and Summary

1. GENETIC

2. GENES - are passed from parents to offspring
and contain the information needed to specify
physical and biological traits.
GENOME - is the entire set of DNA instructions
found in a cell.
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) - is the molecule
that carries genetic information for the
development and functioning of an organism.
UNLOCKING DIFFICULT WORDS

3. ENZYMES - proteins that help speed up
metabolism, or the chemical reactions in our
bodies.
NUCLEOTIDES - is the basic building block of
nucleic acids (RNA and DNA)
BIOTECHNOLOGY - is technology that utilizes
biological systems, living organisms or parts of
this to develop or create different products.

4. WHAT IS GENETIC
ENGINEERING?
Genetic engineering is
the direct manipulation of
an organism’s genes
using biotechnology.

5. Is done to indirectly
manipulate genes
focusing on the physical
traits among organisms.

6. ARTIFICIAL SELECTION

7. is a process when
animals with desired
characteristics are mated
to produce offspring with
those desired traits.

9. are when two
individuals with unlike
characteristics are
crossed to produce the
best in both organisms

10. is a technique of
breeding organisms that
are genetically similar to
maintain desired traits f

12. GENETIC ENGINEERING

13. Creating an organism that
is an exact genetic copy
of another

14. DNA is cut out of one
organism and put into
another organism

15. A technique used to
compare DNA from two or
more organisms.

16. is made by mixing
DNA from two
different sources.

17. SUMMARY
1. Genetic engineering is the process of changing the DNA in living organisms to
create something new.
2. Artificial selection is practiced to indirectly manipulate genes focusing on the
physical traits among organisms. This include selective breeding, hybridization
and inbreeding.
3. Genetic engineering is referred to various techniques used for the modification
or manipulation of organisms through the processes of heredity and
reproduction.
4. This includes cloning, gene splicing, gel electrophoresis and DNA recombinant
technology.
5. Recombinant DNA technology use to remove and insert genetic sequences
from and into other sequences of another organism.
6. The tools used in Recombinant DNA technology are restriction enzymes,
vectors and host organisms.

19. 1. This is when animals with desired characteristics are mated to produce
offspring with those desired traits. Dachshunds were once bred to hunt
badgers and other burrowing animals.
2. Creating an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. They will have
the same exact DNA as the parent.
3. DNA is cut out of one organism and put into another organism. A trait will be
transferred from one organism to another.
4. Luther Burbank created a disease resistant potato called the Burbank. He
crossed a disease resistant plant with one that had a large food producing
capacity.
5. A technique used to compare DNA from two or more organisms.
6. Breeding of organisms that are genetically similar to maintain desired traits. It
keeps each breed unique from others.
