Week 8 Assignment 2: Gene Technology Introduction to Biology Mr. James Cox March 3‚ 2013 Gene technology is the term given to a range of activities concerned with understanding the expression of genes‚ taking advantage of natural genetic variation‚ modifying genes and transferring genes to new hosts. Gene technology sits within the broader area of biotechnology – the use of living things to make or change products. Humans have been using biotechnology for centuries

GENE MUTATION‚TYPES OF MUTATIONS 1. Gene Mutation A Gene Mutation is defined as an alternation in the sequence of nucleotides in DNA. It can affect a single nucleotide pair or larger gene segments of a chromosome. Mutations cause changes in the genetic code which lead to genetic variation and the potential to develop disease. What causes Gene Mutation? → Gene mutations are most commonly caused as a result of two types of occurrences. 1. Environmental factors Ex) chemicals‚ radiation

Gene Cloning Clone: A group of identical cells or organisms To clone a gene: 1) Insert the gene into a vector that can carry the into a host cell 2) Ensure that it will replicate there 3) Insertion is carried out by cutting the vector and the DNA to be inserted with the same restriction endonuclease to ensure that both have the same "sticky ends" Vector for cloning the bacteria come from two major types: (1) Plasmids‚ and (2) Phages Recombinant DNA Technology A) It was developed in

Describing theories TASK 1(P1) Introduction The theory I have chosen to discuss is the theory of inheritance‚ which is attributed largely to Gregor Mendel who lived from 1822 to 1884 and was considered to be a mathematical scientist who introduced the science of genetics. Observation During the period of 1858 to 1866‚ Mendel observed the different characteristics that where inherited by living creatures. He done this by breading garden peas in his monastery garden and analyzing the offspring

multiple cloning site (MCS) which is artificially implanted by adding a polylinker sequence to it. The pUC19 plasmid is also altered by inserting a gene that codes for beta-lactamase which confers resistance to the antibiotic ampicillin (Read and Strachan 2011). The MCS occupies the 5’ end of the gene lacZ (Sherwood‚ Willey and Woolverton 2012). This gene codes for only the alpha-peptide of beta-galactosidase‚ an enzyme used to break down the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose (Read and

How will Gene Doping effect the sports industry? Gene Doping is a different type of gene therapy that has caused a lot of controversy in the past 6-7 years due to the capability of what this method of doping could do. Gene doping therapy was started at Harvard in 1999 and was specifically used to get a substantial rise in the performance of athletes. This is done by genetically modifying cells to enhancing athletic performance. Gene therapy is done by using genes to help treat or stop diseases.

Gene and his roommate Finny (Phineas) become close friends at Devon School in the summer of 1942. Finny is always able to get away with what infractions he makes. He and Gene for a small society over jumping out of a tree into a river. They name it the “Super Suicide Society of the Summer Session”.
