Lecture 22 Flashcards
To avoid multiple copies being inserted, – are used
P elements
Replace – gene with gene of interest
transposase
Provide transposase on a –
second plasmid
Use – to identify transgenic flies
eye color marker
Inject both plasmids into region of embryo that forms –
germ cells
AquAdvantage salmon are triploid female Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Triploidy render salmon –
sterile
In order to knock-out a gene, must have – at site of endogenous gene
homologous recombination
In yeast this is the most common event when transforming with linear DNA
knock-outs
All other organisms (except yeast, bacteria, and fungi) favor – recombination and form concatamers of insert
illegitimate
Mouse Knockouts are done using – cells
embryonic stem
ES cells are isolated from the –, which is the part of a blastocyst that forms the embryo.
inner cell mass (ICM)
Once isolated, ES cells can be grown on – for several generations (but not forever).
dishes
During the first four cleavages, all embryonic cells are –
totipotent
Two embryos can be put together to make a – mouse
chimeric
For transformed mouse cells to survive, they must acquire the positive marker and must –
lose the negative marker
Transgenic plants are usually made with the help of –, a bacterium that causes crown gall disease
Agrobacterium
Naturally found – move from the bacterium into the plant cell by a mechanism similar to conjugation
Ti plasmids
A region of the plasmid, –, is a transposable element that inserts randomly into the genome, but leaves behind all enzymes required for its future movement
T DNA
T/F: Normally tumor production enzymes are moved with the T DNA
true
Recombinant Ti plasmids remove the tumor production enzymes and insert genes of interest between the –
ends of the T DNA
using agrobacterium requires – plasmids
2
transgenic plants usage: – at random with T-DNAs containing selectable markers
Disrupt genes (knockouts)
common usage of transgenic plants: – new or modified transgenes
introduce
another use of transgenic plants is to introduce – genes into plants
fusion
