biotechnology Flashcards
what are some different animal biotechnology
-xenotransplantation
-animal nutrition
-animal vaccines
-animal breeding
-embryo transfer
-transgenic animal
what is stomatic cell nuclear transfer
cloning
how is cloning done
-somatic body cell with desired genes is acquired
-and a nucleus is removed form egg cell
-nucleus is fused with denucleated egg cell
what is reproductive cloning
the cloning process is done then embryo is placed in a surrogate
what is therapeutic cloning
cloning process is done then they arent placed in the uterus of another animal
what is the trouble with cloning
-very low success rate
-abnormalities
what is a transgenic animal
-one that carries a foreign gene that has been deliberately inserted into its genome
-DNA can be form the same species
-needs not be genetically active
-foreign gene is heritable
what are the ways as of transgene transfer
-microinjection
-viral infection
-electroporation
-transfection
whats CRISPR
-bacterial defence mechanism that cuts up viral DNA
-modified to cut the DNA at a specific spot on any genome in any cell/embryo
-can disrupt a gene or insert a new nucleotide of whole new gene where that DNA was cut
