Transformation Objective 4
Bacteria DNA Bacterial DNA is shaped like a circle and called a plasmid
Transforming Bacteria The plasmid is removed with a needle The DNA is cut open by Restriction Enzymes A new piece of DNA is added to the plasmid (recombinant DNA) The plasmid is put back into the bacteria
Transforming Bacteria Transformed Bacteria can make medicines like: Human Growth Hormone (Dwarfism) Insulin (Diabetes) Transgenic bacteria has DNA from itself and another organism (humans)
Review What is the shape of bacterial DNA and what is it called? What cuts DNA? What is an organism called when it has DNA from multiple species?
