TOPIC 13 | GMO and Gene Therapy Flashcards
are plants, animals, or microbes in which one or more changes has been curated to the genome of said organism.
GMO
The aim is to alter the genetic characteristics of modified
organism through high-tech genetic engineering.
GMO
The genes may be enhanced,
introduced, or even deleted within a species.
GMO
is the process of genetically altering genes of an organism with
the help of technology.
Genetic Engineering
Is the process of creating an exact genetic and physical replica of a cell, tissue or even organism with the copied material being coined as a clone.
CLONING
was cloned from a six-year-old Finn Dorset sheep and an egg cell from a
Scottish Blackface sheep.
DOLLY
an Austrian monk, breeds two
different types of peas and identifies the basic
process of genetics.

JAMES WATSON AND FANCIS CRICK
develop genetic engineering by inserting DNA from one bacteria
into another.
Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen
conducted a experiment in which resulted in the first mammalian embryo created by nuclear transfer.
DEREK BROMHALL
transferred the nucleus
from a rabbit embryo cell into an
enucleated rabbit egg cell.
DEREK BROMHALL
responsible for protecting public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products , medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation.
Food and Drug Administration or FDA
protects people and the environment from significant health risks, sponsors and conducts research, and develops and enforces environmental regulations.
Environmental Protection Agency or EPA
responsible for overseeing
farming, ranching, and forestry industries, as well as regulating aspects of food quality and
safety and nutrition labeling.
USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)
It is a unique technology that enables geneticists and medical researchers to edit parts of the genome by removing, adding or altering sections of the DNA
sequence.
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
or
CRISPR-Cas9
is a powerful tool as it can alter the genetic information of an organism.
GENOME EDITING
s a single-stranded molecule that carries genetic information from
the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm.
