31
Q

Chemical transformation Method

A

Animal and Plant Cells only

Common, used to move DNA from animal cell to plant cell

Shocks the cell (heat shock)

32
Q

Electroporation transformation method

A

Electric pores flowing into membranes

Reforms membrane so channels go through it.

Transform bacteria cells, plant cells (w/ cell wall), animal cells

33
Q

Gene Gun-Biolistics

A

Coats bbs with DNA
Shoots bbs into cells, DNA goes in and come off bbs
Can shoot directly in tissues, gene therapy while using gun

34

Liposome transformation method

A

Mediated transformation

Any cell that has membrane can use this to deliver goods

35
Q

Micro injection transformation method

Use to inject eggs into animals
Genetically modify animals
Use micromanipulator
Not for plants or fungi

36

Q

Ti plasmid

A

T-DNA is transferred to plant chromosomes

Main way to get transgenic plants

38
Q

How do we know which cells have the new DNA?

A

Selection of host cells harboring recombinant DNA using specific methods

Use of specific selection genes to accomplish this

39
Q

Selection of Cells

A

Some genes used in selection are inactivated

40

How are some genes in selection inactivated?

A

By inserting foreign DNA into them. Gives cells with new DNA a specific characteristic that can be “visualized”

41
Q

Intact vs. disrupted selection genes can be

A

Visualized

42
Q

Antibiotic resistance genes
