25
DNA technology that are already in use
- therapeutic hormones | - diagnosis and treat of disease
26
Therapeutic hormones that are the product of DNA technology
insulin and human growth hormone
27
Diagnosis and treatment of disease as products of DNA technology
- test for inherited diseases -detect infectious agents such as HIV - produce vaccines, harmless variants or derivatives of a pathogen for immune system
28
Advantages of recombinant DNA products
- identity to human protein - purity - quantity
29
Genetically modified organism
contains one or more genes introduced by artificial means
30
Transgenic organisms
contain at least one gene from another species
31
Most common vector used to induce new genes into plant cells is
Ti plasmid
32
GM plants produced 3 things
- resistant to herbicides - resistant to pests - improved nutritiona
33
GM animals produces
with improved nutritional or other qualities (large sheep faster)
34
Concerns related to GM organisms include
- introduction of allergens into good supply | - spread of genes to closely related organisms
35
Regulatory agencies are trying to address the..
- safety of GM products - labeling of GM produced foods - safe use of biotechnology
36
Gene therapy
alteration of an afflicted individual's gene for therapeutic purposes
37
In gene therapy the defective gene is
replaced with normal allele, must multiply through body to be permanent
38
Gene therapy procedure
- normal allele cloned - using virus vectors, new allele inserted into engineered cells - engineered cells injected into patients bone marrow
39
DNA profiling
analysis of DNA samples to determine whether they ca,e from same individual
40
DNA profiling used to compare
- genetic markers | - sequences of genome
41
Amplified DNA sequences =
make large quantities of DNA sequence
42
2 steps to amplify DNA sequences
- clone DNA in host cells | - use polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method when source is impure/scant
43
Repeated cycle of steps for PCR
- sample is heated to separate DNA strands - sample is cooled and primer binds to specific target sequence - target sequence is copied with heat stake DNA polymerase
44
Gel electrophoresis
sorts DNA fragments by size
45
DNA profiling compares
genetic markers between 2 or more DNA samples
46
Repetitive DNA
consists of nucleotide sequences that are present in multiple copies in the genome
47
Short tandem repeats (STRs)
short nucleotide sequences that are repeated in tandem
48
STR analysis compares
length of STR at multiple sites
49
STR analysis contain _ to __ nucleotide repeats
3- 50
50
Current standard for DNA profiling is to..
analyze and compare the lengths of 13 diff STR sites
51
Less than _ in _ _____ chance that2 unrelated individuals share the same profile for the 13 standard STR loci
1; 10 billion
52
CODIS stands for
combined DNA index system
53
Genome
complete set of genes of an organism
54
Genomics
scientific study of a complete set of genes and their interactions
55
Comparative analysis of genomes shows
evolutionary relationships between organisms
56

8
61
Repetitive DNA
telomeres, STRs, transposable elements
62
Proteomics
scientific study of the full protein sets (proteomes) encoded by genomes
63
Proteomics understands
protein functions and interactions in cells and organisms
64
_____ proteins vs. _____ genes in humans
100,000; 21,000
65
Biologists compile complete..
catalogues of gene and proteins
66
Genomes of chimps and humans are __% similar
96
67
Differences in genes of us and chimps is
defence of disease, brain size and speech
68
Neanderthals
close human relatives but spirit species, had FOXP@ gene, were lactose intolerant and interbred w/ homo sapiens
