Section 15.1Selective Breeding

• Objectives:– What is selective breeding used for ?– How do people increase genetic variation?

• Define:– Selective breeding– Hybridization– Inbreeding– biotechnology

Page 4: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

I. Selective Breeding• Dogs = Chihuahua Great Dane• Humans bred dogs for 1000s of years

looking to produce better hunters, retrievers, companions

• Selective breeding – allowing only those animals with wanted characteristics to produce the next generation

• Humans use selective breeding, which takes advantage of naturally occurring genetic variation, to pass wanted traits on to the next generation of organisms– Produced new varieties of cultivated plants and

all domestic animals (horses, cats, cows) by selectively breeding for particular traits

– Native Americans selectively bred teosinte (wild grass) to produce corn = more nutritious and productive

Page 5: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. Hybridization• Luther Burbank (1849 – 1926) –

developed >800 varieties of plants• Hybridization – crossing dissimilar

individuals to bring together best of both organisms

• Hybrids – individuals produced by crosses– Often hardier than either of parents

• Burbank’s crosses combined disease resistance of one plant w/ food-producing capacity of another– Results in new line of plants that had

traits farmers needed to increase food production

Page 6: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. Inbreeding• Inbreeding – continued breeding of individuals with similar

characteristics– Used to maintain desirable characteristics in a line of organisms– Helps ensure that characteristics that make each breed unique are

preserved

• Can be risky– Most members of a breed = genetically similar– Increases chance that a cross b/w 2 individuals will bring together 2

recessive alleles for genetic defect

Page 7: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

II. Increasing Variation

• Breeders can increase the genetic variation in a population by introducing mutations, which are the ultimate source of biological diversity

• Biotechnology – application of a technological process, invention, or method– Used when manipulate genetic

makeup of an organism– Selective breeding = one form

(important in agriculture and medicine)

Page 8: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. Bacterial Mutations

• Mutations – heritable changes in DNA– Occur spontaneously– Can be increased by breeders by using radiation or chemicals– Many harmful to organism

• With luck and perseverance breeders can produce a few mutants w/ useful characteristics not found in original population– Useful in bacteria

• Small• Millions can be treated w/ radiation/chemicals at same time =

increases chance of producing a useful mutant– Scientists have produced 100s of useful bacteria

• Some consume oil (oil spills)• Working on bacteria that can clean up radioactive substances and

metal pollution in environment

Page 9: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. Polyploid Plants• Drugs that prevent separation of

chromosomes during meiosis = useful in plant breeding– Produce cells that have many times

normal number of chromosomes• Plants grown from these cells =

polyploid b/c they have many sets of chromosomes

• Polyploidy – usually fatal in animals; plants much better at tolerating extra sets of chromosomes– Can quickly produce new species of

plants: larger and stronger than diploid relatives

• Bananas, citrus fruits

Page 10: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

Section 15.2Recombinant DNA

• Objectives:– How do scientists copy the DNA of living organism?– How is recombinant DNA used?– How can genes from one organism be inserted into

another organism?• Define:

– Polymerase chain reaction– Recombinant DNA– Plasmid– Genetic marker– Transgenic– Clone

Page 11: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

I. Copying DNA

• In the past – mutations unpredictable

• Today – genetic engineers can transfer certain genes at will from one organism to another = new living things

• DNA extracted from cells cut into fragments separated according to size find DNA of single gene among 3 million fragments!!!!

Page 12: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

Mystery Clue

• Page 421…

• How could restriction enzymes be used to analyze the DNA evidence found on the suspect?

Page 13: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. Finding Genes• 1987 – Douglas Prasher –

jellyfish– wanted to find gene that codes

for green fluorescent protein• GFP – absorbs energy from light &

makes jellyfish parts glow

– Wanted to link GFP to when a protein was being made in a cell

• To find the gene using mRNA and radioactive probes to bind to complementary base sequences

Page 14: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. Polymerase Reaction Chain• Heat piece of DNA

separates strands

• As DNA cools, primer binds to single strands

• DNA polymerase starts copying region b/w primers

• Copies serve as templates to make more copies

Page 15: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

II. Changing DNA• Wondered how to change DNA

of living cell• Griffith answered

transformation: cell takes DNA from outside cell, added DNA becomes component of cell’s own genome– Heat-killed bacteria contained

DNA fragments– When mixed w/ live bacteria

some took up fragments transformed bacteria (changed characteristics

Page 16: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. Combining DNA Fragments• Today – can build custom

DNA molecules with genes you like & insert them into living cells

• Recombinant DNA technology – joining together DNA from 2 or more sources– Makes it possible to change the

genetic composition of living organisms

– Can investigate the structure and function of genes

Page 17: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. Plasmids and Genetic Markers• Scientists join recombinant DNA to

another piece of DNA containing a replication “start” signal whenever cell copies its own DNA, it copies recombinant DNA too

• Plasmid – small circular DNA molecule– Join DNA to plasmid use recombinant

plasmid to transform bacteria results in replication of newly added DNA w/ rest of cell’s genome

• Genetic marker – gene that makes it possible to distinguish bacteria that carry the plasmid from those that don’t– Used to locate transformed cells

Page 18: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

III. Transgenic Organisms• Transgenic – contain genes

from other species• Transgenic organisms can

be produced by the insertion of recombinant DNA into the genome of a host organism

• 1980’s – perfected using mice• Now – plants, animals,

microorganisms• Contributes to understanding

gene regulation and expression

Page 19: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. Transgenic Plants

Page 20: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. Transgenic Animals

Page 21: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

C. Cloning• Clone – member of a population of

genetically identical cells produced from a single cell

• Use single cell from adult organism to grow an entirely new individual that is genetically identical to organism from which cell was taken

• 1952 – 1st clone of animals – amphibian tadpoles

• 1997 – Ian Wilmut – cloned sheep “Dolly”

• Since = cloned cows, pigs, mice, cats

Page 22: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

Section 15.3Applications of Genetic Engineering

• Objectives:– How can genetic engineering benefit agriculture and

industry?– How can recombinant-DNA technology improve

human health?– How is DNA used to identify individuals?

• Define:– Gene therapy– DNA microarray– DNA fingerprinting– forensics

Page 23: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

I. Agriculture and Industry

• Everything we eat and much of what we wear come from living organisms

• Use genetic engineering to try to improve products from plants and animals

• Ideally, genetic modification could lead to better, less expensive, and more nutritious food as well as less-harmful manufacturing processes.

Page 24: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. GM Crops• Introduced 1996 • 2007 – GM crops = 92% soybeans;

86% cotton; 80% corn grown in US– Use bacterial genes that produce protein (Bt

toxin) - Harmless to humans- Enzyme in insects converts Bt toxin into a

form that kills the insect- No pesticides needed & produce higher yield

of crops

– Resistance to herbicides (chemicals that destroy weeds)

– Resistance to viral infections– Produce foods resistant to rot and spoilage

(soon)– Produce plastics for manufacturing industry

(soon)

Page 25: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. GM Animals• Food supply

– 30% milk from cows injected w/ hormones made by recombinant-DNA techniques to increase milk production

– Pigs – produce more lean meat or high levels of healthy omega-3 acids

– Salmon – growth hormone = grow more quickly (grown in captivity)

– Spider genes into goats = manufacture silk w/ milk extracted & woven into thread = light, tough, flexible material (military uniforms, medical sutures, tennis racket strings)

– Human genes + goat milk = antibacterial goat milk

• Hope to clone transgenic animals– Increase food supply– Save endangered species

• 2008 – US gov’t approved sale of meat and milk from cloned animals

Page 26: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

II. Health and Medicine• Biotechnology = part of

medicine– Early physicians –

extracted substances from plants and animals to cure patients

– 20th century – vaccination saved countless lives

– Today – recombinant-DNA technology source of some of most important advances in prevention and treatment of disease

Page 27: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. Preventing Disease• Golden rice – incr.

provitamin A + beta-carotene– Hope to help prevent health

problems (infant blindness)• Transgenic plants/animals

to make human antibodies • Future transgenic

animals may supply us w/ human proteins used in disease prevention– Already produced in milk of

some transgenic sheep and pigs

Page 28: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. Medical Research

• Transgenic animals – used as test subjects

• Simulate human diseases caused by defective genes– Use models based on

simulations to follow onset and progression of diseases & test new drugs that may treat disease

• Ex: Alzheimer’s & arthritis

Page 29: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

C. Treating Disease

• Recombinant-DNA technology make important proteins that could prolong or save human lives– Human growth hormone – used to

treat pituitary dwarfism now widely available b/c mass produced in recombinant bacteria

– Insulin – treat diabetes– Blood-clotting factors – hemophilia– Interleukin-2 & interferon – cancer

(future)

Page 30: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

• Gene therapy – process of changing a gene to treat a medical disease/disorder– Absent or faulty gene is replaced by a

normal, working gene– Allows body to make the

protein/enzyme needed eliminates cause of disorder

• Human Genome Project• How it works:

• Engineer virus that cannot reproduce or cause harmful effects

• Put DNA w/ therapeutic gene into modified virus

• Infect patient’s cells w/ virus• In theory: virus will insert healthy gene

into target cell and correct defect• Challenge: deliver gene that works

correctly over long term• High risk & experimental procedure

• To become accepted treatment need more reliable ways to insert working genes and ensure DNA used does no harm

Page 31: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

D. Genetic Testing• Genetic tests – use specific DNA

sequences that detect complementary base sequences found in disease-causing alleles

• Other tests – search for changes in cutting sites of restriction enzymes

• Some – use tests to detect differences b/w length of normal and abnormal alleles

• Available for diagnosing hundreds of disorders

Page 32: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

E. Examining Active Genes

• All cells in human body contain identical genetic material

• Same genes not active in every cell

• DNA microarray technology – used to study 100s/1000s of genes at once to understand levels of gene activity

Page 33: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

III. Personal Identification• Complexity of human

genome = no individual is exactly like any other genetically

• DNA fingerprinting analyzes sections of DNA that may have little or no function but that vary widely from one individual to another– DNA samples from blood,

sperm, tissue, hair w/ root

Page 34: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

A. Forensic Science

• Used since 1980s• Precise & reliable• Forensics – scientific study of

crime scene evidence• DNA fingerprinting – solve

crimes, convict criminals, overturn wrongful convictions– Wildlife conservation – identify

herds from which black-market ivory was taken (elephants in Africa)

Page 35: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?

B. Establishing Relationships• DNA fingerprinting

disputed paternity: alleles in child not carried by mother must come from father– Y chromosome – never

crosses over=few changes (father to child)

– miDNA (mitochondrial)- small so few changes (mother to child)

Page 36: Chapter 15 Genetic Engineering. Chapter Mystery A case of mistaken identity Page 417 Hypothesis: How did the police know they had the wrong suspect?
