DNA Fingerprinting
https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/dna-fingerprinting-overview
● Is a chemical test that shows the genetic makeup of a person or other living things
● 99%
● Uses chemicals to separate strands of DNA, Its displayed in a pattern of stripes
● Shows who your parents and siblings are you and other relatives might be.
● Physically connect a piece of evidence to a person or rule out someone as a suspect
● Identify a dead body that's too old or damaged to be recognized
● Match tissue of organ donors with dose of people who need transplants
● Identify disease that are passed down through the family
● Helps find out for cures for disease , called hereditary conditions
● Blood
● Run an electric current through the gel, get electrophoresis
Who is most likely the father to the offspring?
Male 1
Who is most likely committed the crime?
Suspect 1
PCR
https://www.genome.gov/about-genomics/fact-sheets/Polymerase-Chain-Reaction-Fact-Sheet
Polymerase chain reaction
a fast and inexpensive technique used to "amplify" - copy - small segments

of DNA
most mapping techniques in the Human Genome Project
Make bullets show the steps of PCR.
● First the sample is

xt=The%20PCR%20test%20takes%20a,PCR%20test%20will%20detect%20it.
The antigen test can only determine if you have an active virus in your body. And the PCR
can detect small amounts of viruses.
Cloning
You will use the following website to complete the tasks:
https://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/cloning/
WHAT IS CLONING?
Click WHAT IS CLONING: Are organisms that are exactly

identical Every single bit of their DNA is the same
What are clones? contain identical sets of genetic material in the nucleus—the compartment
that contains the chromosomes—of every cell in their bodies.
What was the first animal cloned? Her name? The first animal to be cloned was a sheep named Dolly.
Why Clone?
Click Why Clone?.
List 6 reasons to use cloning and an example of how it has been used. (3 on the slide and 3 on next slide)
Reason Example
Making animal models to study and learn Mice

about human disease
Making stem cells Bone marrow transplant
Reviving endangered or extinct species The bucardo Goat

Why Clone? continued
Reason Example
Reproducing a deceased pet CC and Rainbow the cats
Drug reproduction Injecting a gene from a drug into the cows

DNA
Creating more livestock Cloning more animals that produce milk and
meat( cattle and pigs)
Gene Therapy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxEoX6TkitY
What is gene therapy? Is the introduction, elimination, or change in genetic material Specifically in DNA or its
molecule custom RNA to change or repair a gene to treat a specific disease.
How many genes to humans have?

25,000
What are 3 ways that genes can be mutated?
Insertion, deletion, and substitution

How are genes inserted into cells? A vector that delivers the genes into the cell
What is a vector? What vector is commonly used in gene therapy? A method of delivering
gene into cell, and a virus vector is used
What is the difference between in vivo and ex vivo gene therapy? Vivo when a patient cells
are added and ex vivo is cell taken out the body and genes added.
Describe 4 risks of using gene therapy. Immune responses, off target effect, unforeseen
situations, long term consequences
What are some diseases that have shown some success using gene therapy?
Certain types of inherited blindness, hemophilia.

Stem Cells
https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/bone-marrow-transplant/in-depth/stem-cells/
art-20048117
What are stem cells? Stem cells are the bodies raw materials
Describe were stem cells come from. Embryos that are 3-5 days old, adult tissue and
amniotic fluids
How does stem cell therapy work? A form of regenerative medicine designed to repair
damage cells within the body by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system
What treatment have shown success? Types of cancer

What are GMOs?
Define: GMO- Any organism whose DNA has been modified using genetics engineering tech
Give at least 5 different examples (crops, livestock, medicines). Nutritional content,

sustainability, pest resistance, and ease of farming
.
Pros and Cons of GMOs (list at least 5 for
each) Cons/Problems
● Allergic reactions
● Cancer
Pros/Benefits ● Toxicity for body organs
● Changes in human DNA
● Increased attractiveness to
consumers
● Enhanced behavior
● Longer shelf life therefore less waste
● Greater resistance to viruses and
other diseases
● Greater tolerance to herbicides
What are your thoughts on GMOs?
In my opinion GMO’s are good for certain animals. I think most animals should be left alone,
however without GMO’s bananas wouldn’t look the same. Dogs wouldn’t have so many
different breeds without GMO’s. However not too many organism should be messed with as
that would only ruin the nature of life.
CRISPR

20a%20specific%2C,precise%20regions%20of%20our%20DNA
What is CRISPR? A segment of DNA containing short repetitions of base sequences in the
defense mechanisms of prokaryotic organism to viruses
How does it work? Edits genes by copying DNA and harnessing natural DNA repair process
to modify the gene
https://www.labiotech.eu/best-biotech/crispr-technology-cure-disease/
List potential uses of CRISPR to cure diseases and disorders. Give a brief description of each.
Can cut a specific DNA sequences by simply proving it wit a RNA template of target
sequences. Scientist can add or delete or replace elements within DNA sequence
https://www.synthego.com/blog/crispr-agriculture-foods
List 6 ways CRISPR is used in agriculture. Tomatoes, mushrooms,rice,citrus,fruits,chocolate,

and wheat all improves consumption
List 4 ways in which CRISPR could be used in the future of agriculture. Apples, cabbage,
coffee, and corn
