Gene Therapy Flashcards
Issues
Avian race
Glofish
Societal impacts
What
Correct gene introduced to genome
What is bioremediation
Cleaning up environment pollutants USing micro organisms
They ( bacteria mostly) covet toxins into non toxic products
. Transgenic examples ( used to clean petroleum, herbicides and pesticides)
What is an example of transgenic crop
Canola
What traits do people give transgenic plants
Tolerance to herbicides, rid eases and pests
more crop yeild, reduce pesticide use, more nutrition
How do you make transgenic plants
To tiptoent ( could be made from somatic cell)
Two methods
Biolisic method ( gene gun)
Ti plasmid method
What is the gene gun method
Fire tiny particles of gold coated DNA at plant cells to penetrate walls
What is the ti method
Tumor inducing plasmid infect plants by causing uncotolled cellgroth
» plasmid is modified not cause tumore but will still be taken by the plants genome
Plasmid enters via natural transformation
Controversy of ti and gene gun
Safe to eat?
Impact I environment? ( gene transferred to other crops)( bt corn kills monarch butterflies and many corn eating insects)
How transgenic animals
Gene into egg
Egg fertilized
Inserted into female
What is gene phar,one
Using transgenic animals to make therapeutic proteins . ( proteins from mammary glands ( human protein ) is inserted into gene onplasmid and then inserted into animals, humanhormone comes out of milk and used for medicine)
