BIOTECHNOLOGY (Genetic Engineering, Cloning, Artificial Selection) SC.912.L.16.10 Evaluate the impact of biotechnology on the individual, society the environment, including medical and ethical issues.

Biotechnology Biotechnology is the manipulation of living organisms or their parts to produce useful products. The main uses of biotechnology are To improve human health Food production

Impact on Society, Individual, and Environment Cloning Genetic Engineering Artificial Selection (Selective breeding) Medical and Ethical Issues Genetically Modified Crops & Animals Genetic Testing Disease Prevention & Treatment Personal Identification

Selective Breeding (Artificial Breeding) People have selectively bred plants and animals to produce offspring with desired traits for thousands of years. People still use this technique today. Selective breeding humans choose organisms with wanted characteristics Hybridization crosses dissimilar individuals to bring together the best of both parents in the offspring. Interbreeding is the continuous breeding of individuals with selected characteristics. It ensures that wanted traits are preserved, but can also result in defects being passed on.

Genetic Engineering Scientists use modern techniques to introduce new characteristics into organisms or populations. Genetic engineering is the transfer of genes or pieces of DNA From one organisms into another. The new DNA that results is called recombinant DNA. Recombinant DNA can be made by transferring DNA from a complex organism into a simpler one. Example Scientists might put human DNA in a bacteria Biotechnologists remove the plasmid (DNA in form of a ring) from a Bacterium, cut it open, and insert a human gene into the plasmid. The bacterial DNA returns to its circular shape, but now contains the human gene. The plasmid is put back into the bacterium. When the bacterium reproduces, it copies its plasmid which contains the recombinant DNA.

Recombinant DNA

Uses of Genetic Engineering (Impact) In Medicine For example, Diabetics is a condition in which the pancreas cannot make insulin essential hormone controlling the amount of sugar in blood. Genetically engineered bacteria are used to produce human insulin in large quantities (plentiful and inexpensive) Food production To improve crop plants such as rice and corn. Plants may be genetically engineered to grow larger or faster, or to resist disease or insects. However, some people are worried about these crops being used for human food. Scientists don't know the long-term effects of eating GM foods. Allergic reactions is another concern.

Genetic Engineering and The Environment Genetic engineering has potential risks as well as benefits Benefits Risks Genetic engineered plants Make their own pesticides If these crops are planted too widely or in the wrong place can harm beneficial insects Resistant to weed killers The pollen from these crops could fertilize wild plants. This could result in larger populations of weeds that are difficult to kill. Produce large quantities of a food product in demand (single variety with the desired trait) Reduce genetic variation. Farmers take the risk of losing an entire crop to a disease.

Cloning Cloning is the artificial production of a cell or organism that is genetically identical to the parent cell or organism. Use of a single cell from an adult organism to grow an entirely new individual identical to the donor. To clone an animal: 1. Scientists must remove the nucleus from a female gamete (egg cell) 2. Inject the nucleus of a body cell from another adult into that egg 3. The two partial cells combine and begin to divide. After a few divisions, the single cell becomes and embryo and is placed inside a host mother 4. The embryo develops into an offspring that is genetically identical to the animal that donated the nucleus. Researches hope to use cloning to increase the population of endangered species. Cloning together with recombinant DNA to produce products that are medically or commercially valuable. Recombinant DNA could be used to make goats whose milk contains valuable proteins. The goats could then be cloned. Concerns

Cloning

Concerns of Cloning A major concern is that someone will try to clone a human The rate of animal cloning is fairly low Concerns of Biotechnology Legal Applications Even a tiny section of a person’s DNA, left behind at a crime scene can be multiplied many times to make identification possible

Stem Cells Stem Cells are not specialized. These cells have the ability to develop into a wide variety of cells Researches have been investigating ways to use stem cells to replace cells that have been damaged by injury or disease and can no longer regenerate. Possible applications: spinal cord injuries, heart disease, etc Sources of stem cells 1. Embryonic tissue: Embryos contain cells that are non- differentiated and can turn into any type of cell in the body. These cells could be used to create new tissues for people with diseases or malformations. 2. Adult tissue

Stem Cells

A. an increase in the use of pesticides 1. While genetic engineering has positive benefits, there are also concerns associated with widespread use of genetic engineering in agriculture. If many farmers begin to plant more genetically modified crops that have an increased tolerance to insects, which of the following may result?  A. an increase in the use of pesticides B. a decrease in genetic diversity of the crops C. an increase in the contamination of the water supply D. a decrease in crop productivity

2. Stem cell research has been a controversial subject in past years 2. Stem cell research has been a controversial subject in past years. What is the reason for this?  A. Cells for study are often taken from human embryos. B. Stem cell techniques will not accomplish the intended purpose. C. The cells cannot be isolated.  D. Replacement tissue will never be grown from a person's own stem cells.

3. What kind of genetically modified crops would be most successful in wet-tropical countries that are overcrowded?  A. crops that are drought- and pest-resistant B. high-yield crops that do not need a lot of sunshine C. high-yield crops that are pest-resistant D. crops that are drought-resistant and need a lot of sunshine

4. In what way did gene therapy, the replacement of a faulty gene with a normal one, stimulate medical research?  A. New medications had to be developed and tested. B. The effects of viral DNA had to be studied. C. The way in which DNA replicates had to be determined. D. The genes on each chromosome had to be mapped and described.

5. The way that crimes are solved today was affected by which of the following technologies?  A. gene therapy B. DNA fingerprinting C. genetic testing D. Genetic modification

6. Which technology below would probably be the most important to a person who had diabetes and had to take insulin every day?  A. testing parents for genetic disorders before they have children B. engineering fruits and vegetables that resist insects and other pests C. developing ways to identify criminals through DNA fingerprinting D. using recombinant DNA to produce human hormones from bacteria

A. the ability to clone humans 7. The Human Genome Project began in 1989 with the purpose of identifying the thousands of genes of the human genome. The first draft of the genome was released in 2000 and was completed in 2003. Which of the following describes the main benefit of mapping the human genome? A. the ability to clone humans B. the ability to design new human genes C. the ability to easily identify genetically-based diseases D. the ability to patent specific human genes

Several years ago, some crop plants were genetically modified to be immune to the effects of glyphosate, a weed killer that worked well on weeds. As a result, the crop could be sprayed with glyphosate, and the weeds would be killed, but the crop would survive. From an ecological point of view, which of the following is most important to determine prior to planting the resistant crop in farm fields? A. What effect does the presence of glyphosate-resistant crops have on insect populations in adjacent fields? B. Is it possible for the gene for resistance to glyphosate to pass from the crop plants to weeds under natural conditions? C. Does the genetically modified crop produce yields that are better in quality and quantity than those of unmodified varieties? D. Is the gene for resistance stable enough in the crop plant that it will be passed to the next generation when the crop plant reproduces?
