What is Biotechnology?
• Biotechnology: is a field of applied biology that involves the use of living organisms and bioprocesses in engineering, technology, medicine and other fields of requiring bio products.
![Page 4: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Selective Breeding• Choose organisms with the desired traits
and breed them, so the next generation also has those traits– Nearly all domesticated animals and crops– Luther Burbank (1849-1926) developed >800
diff varieties of plants in his lifetime
![Page 5: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Selective Breeding• For a long time, humans have selected the
best plants and animals to breed
• Why?
• Examples?
• Milk Cows– 1947 - produced 4,997 lbs... of milk/year– 1997 - produced 16,915 lbs.... of milk/year
• Increasing the frequency of desired alleles in a population is the essence of genetic technology
![Page 6: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hybridization
• The act or process of mating organisms of different varieties or species to create a hybrid.
• In plants – often results in better lines – hybrids are larger, stronger, etc• In animals – hybrids produced may be weaker and sterile
– Ex – wolf x dog ---- weak wolf-dog– Ex – horse x donkey ---- mule (sterile)
![Page 7: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Inbreeding
• Breeding two organisms that are
very similar to produce offspring
with the desired traits. – Ex – dog breeds
•Risks – might bring together two individuals that carry bad recessive genes – many purebred dogs have genetic disorders that mutts don’t get.
![Page 8: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Inbreeding• Mating between closely
related individuals
• Why?
• Done to make sure that breeds consistently exhibit a trait and to eliminate undesired trait – Creates purebred lines
• Can be bad also– Can bring out harmful, recessive
alleles in a “family”
![Page 9: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Increasing Variation• Induce mutations – the ultimate source of
genetic variations among a group of organisms– Mutagens used – radiation and chemicals– Some organisms are formed that have more
desirable variations.

Producing new kinds of bacteria
• Can expose millions of bacteria at one time to radiation – increases chances of producing a successful mutant. – Ex – bacteria that can digest oil have been
produced this way
![Page 14: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Producing new kinds of plants:
• Drugs that prevent chromosomal separation in meiosis have been used to create plants that have more than two sets of chromosomes (2n). These are called polyploid plants. – Ex – bananas, citrus fruit, strawberries, many
ornamental flowers
Diploid corn
Tetraploid corn

What is Genetic Engineering?
• Making changes in the genetic code of a living organism.
• - Transferring of DNA/genes from one organism to another
- Also called recombinant DNA technology or gene splicing.
![Page 18: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is Genetic Engineering?
• Genetic engineering can take place: – Within a species (switching genes between
humans)– Or between species (switching genes between
humans and bacteria)• Why is this possible?
![Page 19: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What is Genetic Engineering?
• Gene: holds the genetic information to build and maintain an organism’s cells and pass genetic traits to offspring.
![Page 20: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is Genetic Engineering?
• Genome: the entirety of an organism’s heredity information.
![Page 21: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How does genetic engineering take place?
![Page 22: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Manipulating DNA – tools of the molecular biologist
1. DNA extraction – open the cells and separate DNA from all the other cell parts.
![Page 23: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Steps to DNA Extraction
1. Break the cells open to expose DNA2. Remove membrane lipids by adding detergent3. Precipitate DNA with an alcohol — usually
ethanol or isopropanol. – Since DNA is insoluble in these alcohols, it will
aggregate together, giving a pellet upon centrifugation. This step also removes alcohol-soluble salt.
![Page 24: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2. Cutting DNA
• Sequences of DNA are isolated
using restriction enzymes.
• Use restriction enzymes
– each one cuts DNA at a
specific sequence of nucleotides.
(Usually 4-6 nucleotides)
• This will make different
lengths of DNA
![Page 25: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is the role/function of restriction enzymes in bacteria?
![Page 26: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
![Page 27: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Many enzyme cut in palindromes– Ex: a protein only cuts at AATT, it will cut the two
fragments at different points - not across from each other (called sticky ends)
• Called sticky ends because they want to bond with things due to their “open” end
Restriction Enzymes
![Page 28: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
![Page 29: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Restriction Enzymes
• These sticky ends are beneficial, because if the same enzyme is used in both organisms, they will have identical ends and will bond with each other.
![Page 30: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Restriction Enzymes
• The cut ends (because they are complementary) can reattach or pair up with any other DNA fragment or gene cut by the same restriction enzyme.

![Page 31: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Restriction Enzymes• Restriction enzymes are used to cut or cleave the
source DNA into fragments called: RFLP’s (Restriction Fragments Length Polymorphism)– Because the restriction enzyme’s recognition sequence
is likely to occur many times within the source DNA, cutting will produce many fragments of different lengths.
– Different RFLP’s may be made by using different restriction enzymes that recognize different DNA sequences.
![Page 32: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Plasmids
• Plasmids: is a DNA molecule that is separate from and can replicate independently of the chromosomal DNA
![Page 34: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Bellringer 1/19/11
• What does restriction enzymes do?
• How are restriction enzymes important for genetic engineering?
• How has biotechnology affected you today?– (Give at least one example)
![Page 36: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
3. Separating DNA• RFLP can be separated (Based on their size)
by electrophoresis– Since a 3-billion base sequence of the 4 DNA
nucleotides can produce more varied combinations than there are humans, each of us should have a unique DNA sequence.
![Page 37: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Separating DNA – Gel Electrophoresis
1. Place fragments at one end of a porous gel – we use agarose gel
2. Apply an electric current – The DNA is negatively charged and will travel toward the positive end of the gel.
3. The larger pieces of DNA move slower, the smaller ones faster.
4. Used to compare genomes of different organisms or different individuals.
5. Also used to locate and identify one particular gene out of an individual’s genome.

Using the DNA Sequence
• Sequence can be read, studied, and changed.
• Techniques used to study DNA sequences: – Use DNA polymerase and the 4 DNA bases to
produce a new DNA strand complementary to unknown strand – some of the bases are dyed.
• Dye-labeled strands are then separated using gel electrophoresis and the order of the bands tells the DNA sequence of the unknown strand.
![Page 43: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
• Once the DNA of interest is isolated it is recombined with another organisms’ DNA
• Cell Transformation: A cell takes in DNA from outside the cell.– The external DNA becomes a component of
the cell’s DNA
3. Recombinant DNA
![Page 44: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Bacteria Transformation using Recombinant DNA
• Cut a gene with a restriction enzyme out of a human cell (ex – gene for insulin or growth hormone work well)
• Cut a bacterial plasmid using the same restriction enzyme (DNA ends will be complementary)
• Insert Human gene into bacterial plasmid• Insert plasmid back into bacterial cell• Bacteria will multiply, and all offspring will have
that gene – these bacteria will then follow the directions of the human gene and make the protein coded for (insulin or human growth hormone)
![Page 45: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Transforming Cells
• Use bacterial plasmid to insert desired gene into DNA
• Foreign DNA is first joined to a small, circular DNA molecule known as a plasmid.
• Plasmids are found naturally in some bacteria and have been very useful for DNA transfer.
![Page 46: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Transforming Animal Cells– Directly inject DNA into the nucleus of an egg
– it will become part of the chromosomes.
• Has been used to replace specific genes.
Glowing mouse cells in embryos that were made from sperm given the gene for bioluminescence from jellyfish – now all the cells glow!
![Page 47: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Making Recombinant DNA• Step 1: To “recombine” or insert genes
form one organism– Must first cut out the desired gene using the
restriction enzyme– With the same restriction enzyme, cut out a
segment of DNA from a plasmid or virus.
![Page 48: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Making Recombinant DNA• Step 2: Because the two different sources of
DNA (human and bacteria) were cut with the same restriction enzyme, the “sticky ends will allow their DNA to recombine.
![Page 49: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Making Recombinant DNA• Step 3: Insert Human gene into bacterial
plasmid– Insert plasmid back into bacterial cell
![Page 50: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Making Recombinant DNA
• Step 4: Bacteria will multiply, and all offspring will have that gene – these bacteria will then
follow the directions of the human gene and make the protein coded
![Page 51: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Checking for recombinant cells
• Recombinant molecules must be separated from molecules consisting of just donor DNA or plasmid DNA.
• The experimenter designs the process so that the plasmid contains two genes that each enable a cell to grow in the presence of a different antibiotic drug.
![Page 52: Biotechnology Biology III. Bellringer 1/10/12 What are the 4 bases in DNA? What is Transcription? What is Translation?](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032802/56649e0c5503460f94af5677/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Applications of Genetic Engineering
• Gene for luciferase was isolated from fireflies and inserted into tobacco plants – they glowed!
• Transgenic organisms – contain genes from other species
A transgenic mouse, which carriesa jellyfish gene, glows green underfluorescent light.

Transgenic Organisms
• Bacteria - Make human proteins like insulin
• Plants – 52% of soybeans, 25% of corn in US in year 2000. Some produce natural insecticide, some resist weed-killers, may soon be used to produce human antibodies; rice with vitamin A.

Cloning • Clone – member of a population
of genetically identical cells
produced from a single cell.
• 1996 – Dolly cloned –
1st mammal (sheep) cloned.
• She got arthritis several years
