11 6. How has genetic engineering been used with plants?.
Genetically engineered tomatoes can be picked green and transported great distances before ripen completely

12 Corn plants: On the left we see corn a plant that was not genetically engineered. On the right we see a pest-free genetically engineered corn plant. They were planted side by side.

13 This 1986 picture of a glowing tobacco plant bearing the “light” gene of fireflies demonstrates the power and potential of genetic engineering.

14 Scientists at the University of Washington are engineering poplar trees that can clean up contamination sites by absorbing groundwater pollutants through their roots. The plants then break the pollutants down into harmless byproducts that are incorporated into their roots, stems and leaves or released into the air.

15 Scientists have recently taken the gene that programs poison in scorpion tails and looked for ways to combine it with cabbage. Why would they want to create venomous cabbage? To limit pesticide use while still preventing caterpillars from damaging cabbage crops. These GM cabbages would produce scorpion poison that kills caterpillars when they bite leaves — but the toxin is modified so it isn’t harmful to humans.

16 2000: Alba, a genetically-engineered bunny possessed "green fluorescent protein" genes from a jellyfish that made it glow in the dark. French genetic researchers created Alba. The albino rabbit glows green when placed under special lighting. In regular light, Alba appears like any other furry white rabbit. But place her under a black light, and her eyes, whiskers and fur glow a otherworldly green.

17                                                                                                                                                        "Glow in the dark" fish: These genetically modified fish were developed by a Taiwanese aquatic firm. They are planning to reproduce these fish in numbers and sell them for pets.

18 In 2007, South Korean scientists altered a cat’s DNA to make it glow in the dark and then took that DNA and cloned other cats from it — creating a set of fluffy, fluorescent felines.

19 Genetically modified pigs are created that produce higher levels of growth hormone to produce ameatier pork chop.

20 The Enviropig, or “Frankenswine,” as critics call it, is a pig that’s been genetically altered to better digest and process phosphorus. Pig manure is high in phytate, a form of phosphorus, so when farmers use the manure as fertilizer, the chemical enters the watershed and causes algae blooms that deplete oxygen in the water and kill marine life.

21 Bt Corn produces a chemical that makes them pest resistant and results in a 5-10% increase yield. Public opposition due to fears of human health and environmental risks associated with the production and consumption of Bt corn.

22 Golden Rice contains higher quantities of Vitamin A and Iron.

23 Genetically modified tomatoes reach full flavor and color on vine without rotting.

24 The Flavr Savr tomato was the first commercially grown genetically engineered food to be granted a license for human consumption. By adding an antisense gene, the California-based company Calgene hoped to slow the ripening process of the tomato to prevent softening and rotting, while allowing the tomato to retain its natural flavor and color.

25 Cows produce significant amounts of methane as a result of a bacterium in their intestines. Methane is a major contributor to the greenhouse effect, so scientists have been working to genetically engineer a cow that produces less methane. Scientists at the University of Alberta have identified the bacterium responsible for producing methane and designed a line of cattle that creates 25 percent less methane than the average cow.

26                                                                                                                                     Scientists in the agriculture department of a Hebrew University have genetically engineered a chicken that has no feathers.

Genetically identical offspring

43 The adult sheep is Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell
The adult sheep is Dolly, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. The lamb is Dolly’s offspring, called Bonnie.

44 Idaho Gem = 1st cloned mule (MAY 2003)
Cloned from a champion racing mule

45 CopyCat = 1st cloned cat (2002)

46 Misconception #1: Instant Clones!
A common misconception is that a clone, if created, would magically appear at the same age as the original. This simply isn't true. You remember that cloning is an alternative way to create an embryo, not a full-grown individual. Therefore, that embryo, once created, must develop exactly the same way as would an embryo created by fertilizing an egg cell with a sperm cell. This will require a surrogate mother and ample time for the cloned embryo to grow and fully develop into an individual.

47 Misconception #2: Carbon Copies!
Your beloved cat Frank has been a loyal companion for years. Recently, though, Frank is showing signs of old age, and you realize that your friend's days are numbered. You can't bear the thought of living without her, so you contact a biotechnology company that advertises pet cloning services. For a fee, this company will clone Frank using DNA from a sample of her somatic cells. You're thrilled: you'll soon have a carbon copy of Frank - we'll call her Frank #2 - and you'll never have to live without your pal! Right? Not exactly. Are you familiar with the phrase "nature versus nurture?" Basically, this means that while genetics can help determine traits, environmental influences have a considerable impact on shaping an individual's physical appearance and personality. For example, do you know any identical twins? They are genetically the same, but do they really look and act exactly alike? So, even though Frank #2 is genetically identical to the original Frank, she will grow and develop in a completely different environment than the original Frank or will have a different mother, and she will be exposed to different experiences throughout her development and life. Therefore, there is only a slim chance that Frank #2 will closely resemble the Frank you know and love.

48 12. What is the ultimate goal of selectivebreeding?
It allows only those individual organisms with DESIRED characteristics to produce the next generation.

50 Horses can also be produced through selective breeding
Horses can also be produced through selective breeding. This is an Appaloosa. This horse is bred for its distinctive coat pattern. Race horses are often selectively bred.

51 Hybridization Inbreeding
13. Identify the 2 types of selective breeding. Hybridization Inbreeding

52 Very DIFFERENT from either parent genetically
14. Describe the offspring of hybridization. Very DIFFERENT from either parent genetically New offspring is HETEROZYGOUS (HYBRID)

53 Alleles are very DIFFERENT
15. Describe the parents of hybridization. Alleles are very DIFFERENT The Mule is the result of breeding a female horse (mare) to a male donkey (jack). The mule is superior to the horse in strength, endurance, intelligence and disease resistance.

The last white tiger ever seen in the wild was shot in As such, today’s white tigers are products of severe inbreeding, causing more genetic aberrations with every generation.

71 A BBC documentary showed that some of Britain’s most popular dogs are plagued with health problems, ranging from cancer, epilepsy and heart disease, after decades of inbreeding.

The process in which genetically identical offspring are produced by using the cells of an organism is called _________.

77 Using special enzymes, scientists have successfully removed the gene that controls the production of clotting factors and have inserted this gene into the DNA of certain bacteria.  These bacteria can now produce clotting factors. This technique is known as (1.) amniocentesis  (2.) genetic engineering  (3.) differentiation  (4.) karyotyping

78 Cloning an individual usually produces organisms that

85 Farmer Brown is a dairy farmer and is known for his very creamy milk
Farmer Brown is a dairy farmer and is known for his very creamy milk. The milk produced by his cows has become so popular that he is not able to fill his orders anymore. This is because his cows don’t produce enough milk each day to meet the demand. He was looking for a cow that produced large amounts of creamy milk. His vet suggested that he could solve his problem by selective breeding. He needed to identify the Friesian cows that produce the most milk and those Jersey cows that produce the creamiest milk and breed only with them. By mating these selected few, Farmer Brown was able to produce offspring which had an enhanced version of this characteristic. Over several years he followed this program until he got the desired result, a cow that produced a large amount of creamy milk.
