Ex. Oil spills and Gold Mining 3. Pharmacology - developing antibiotics to destroy pathogens. (microbes) 4. Vaccines - developing weakened strains of pathogenic bacteria or viruses in order to protect (immunize) against infection.

24. Assisted Reproduction Key Points Medical reproduction is all medical procedures that help engage the union of an ovum and a sperm cell for achieving fertilization; they generally serve to help infertile or sterile couples.

30. Cell Culture Main Points  To make cell cultures, specialists must first obtain cells (either isolated cells or cells obtained through separation). These cells must then be provided with an appropriate support and an adequate culture medium (source of nutrients for growth).  Conditions normally present in the organism the cells come form are recreated (temp, pressure, acidity). This encourages growth and reproduction of cells.

31. Transgenesis Transgenesis Intro

32. Genetic Transformation  Genetic modification of a cell`s DNA; changing its specific “Blue Print”. Involves the uptake of foreign DNA and placing it into the chain of another organism’s DNA. Involves the uptake of foreign DNA and placing it into the chain of another organism’s DNA. Therefore, it is a replication of a trait within another organism that didn’t have it before. altering the cells production of specific Proteins.

34. Transgenesis

35. Transgenesis  is a procedure that consists in inserting a foreign gene into an organism.  Different techniques are used, but the steps involved are similar: 1. gene of interest*. 1. Identification of a characteristic in a donor organism, and location of the gene responsible for this characteristic, known as the gene of interest*. 2. 2. Extract the gene of interest from the donor organism. 3 3. Insertion of the gene of interest into the cells of the organism to be modified. 4 4. Selection of the organisms in which the genetic modification has worked.
