1. Exploring Biotechnology in Animal Science
Agri-science
Mr. Bailey

2. Introduction
Since first domesticated animals have been used for everything
Food, clothing, labor
More and more technologies are being introduced to help animals become more productive

3. ACTIVITY!!!!
Watch closely to the water in the jars

4. What are some biotechnologies used in animal science?
Cloning
Genetic engineering
Genetic variation
Selection differential

5. How will these biotechnologies help in the productivity of animals?
Genetic variation helps the producer select the top females for breeding

6. What are the impacts of these biotechnologies on the environment, consumer health and animals?
Environmental factors can include nutrition and disease.
The potential for inbreeding can also be factored in.

7. How will these biotechnologies benefit humans?
Food quality
Food production
Number of animals to humans

8. Epistasis
Having one or more genes that cover up the effect of a dominant gene
EX: B gives black, b gives brown, and ee means yellow for fur coats in Labradors. Ee and EE are normal so black or brown will show

9. Example of Epistasis
You breed a black retriever (BBEe) with a brown retriever (bbEE). What color will the pups be?

10. Exit Slip Name two uses of biotechnology used in animal science.
Identify one benefit biotechnology has to humans.
