Applied Genetics •Crossing Organisms with Desirable Traits to Produce Offspring with Those Traits

5/23/2020 Plant and Animal Breeding Selective Breeding Applied Genetics •crossing organisms with desirable traits to produce offspring with those traits Inbreeding •Crossing animals or plants with similar genes. •Used to keeps animals or plants purebreds. •May also keep bad genes in the population. Plant and Animal Breeding Hybridization Liger and Tigon •Crossing two organism (usually from the same or close species) with different variations of a trait. •Offspring may be sterile or have developmental problems. + = 1 5/23/2020 + = Zorse Zebra and Shetland Pony = Zetland Donkey + Zebra = Donkra Yak + Domestic Cow = Dzo Sheep and a Goat = Toast Beefalo 2 5/23/2020 + + = Wholphin = Grolar Bear Lama and a Camel + Cama = Leopon Genetic Engineering The process in which genes are transferred from one organism to another or artificially designed. 3 5/23/2020 Recombinant DNA Bacterial Transformation •inserting a gene into another organisms •Plasmids = Free floating circular pieces genome. of bacterial DNA in bacteria. 5 3 1 4 2 1- remove plasmid from bacteria. 2- cut plasmid with a restriction enzyme. 3- insert new gene in plasmid. 4- Force plasmid into bacteria cell.. 5- New genes forces bacteria to make gene product. Ex: human insulin Genetic Engineering •GeneticallyGM Modified food GMO •Genetically altering plants for better produce. •Genetically altering plants for disease prevention. Many plants that you buy in stores are genetically altered. ex: tomatoes , corn, and wheat 4 5/23/2020 Products of Genetic Engineering Products of Genetic Engineering Medical •Correcting genetic diseases. Designing genes to combat disease •Using bacteria to make drugs, hormones, and enzymes. ex: bubble boy disease, brain diseases 5 5/23/2020 Future of Genetics Gene Therapy •inserting “good” genes in a virus and the virus infects a human cell and inserts the good gene Clone •a genetic copy of an organism •Natural •Artificial 6 5/23/2020 Human Genome Project Human Genome Project 7.
