Genetic Engineering Directly manipulating an organism’s genome using biotechnology

4

5 Recombinant DNA  DNA that has been created artificially. DNA from two or more sources is incorporated into a single recombinant molecule.

6

7 Restriction Enzymes Molecule that cuts DNA at a specific place.

8

9 Plasmid  is a small DNA molecule that is physically separate from, and can replicate independently of, chromosomal DNA within a cell. 

10

11 Plasmids Plasmids used in genetic engineering are called vectors.
a vector is a DNA molecule used as a vehicle to artificially carry foreign genetic material into another cell, where it can be replicated and/or expressed. 

12 Cloning Clones are organisms that are exact genetic copies
Cloning uses Vectors to carry DNA into another cell

13 Selective Breeding Allowing animals with desired characteristics to produce next generation animals

14

15 GMOs Genetically Modified Organisms
Animals or plants that have been genetically changed for a specific purpose

16

17 Pasteurization Process of rapidly heating food to kill any harmful bacteria or viruses

18 Hybrid Animals Brangus Beef

19 Disease Resistant Plants
Plants that have been bred to resist harmful diseases

20 Pros and Cons of genetic engineering?
