4. ConceptUses of biotechnology
5. Biotechnology at the Cutting Edgehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebSWG1QmxnYSet up this chart in your lab journal:ResearcherGoal of their work1. Dr. Sabeti2. Dr. Keasling3. Dr. Nelson4. Dr. Fraley
6. BiotechnologyThe use of living organisms to solve problems and make useful products.Examples: crop plants and farm animals; using yeast to make bread rise.
7. BiotechnologyMany types of technology that uses:CellsProteinsGeneticsOther fields use biotechnology, like health care, agriculture, genetics, and food science.
8. Selective BreedingBreeding selected organisms to get offspring with certain traits.Has been an important farming practice for many centuries.
9. HybridCross between two different speciesExample: mule from donkey and horse
10. Genetically ModifiedOrganisms whose genes have been changed.Used for:Making medicinesTreating diseasesImprove cropsHerbicide-resistant corn!Making insulin for diabetic patients!
11. GenomeComplete map or sequence of an organism’s DNA.Scientists identify genes and DNA strands.
12. DNA FingerprintingScientists collect DNA at a crime scene (blood/hair) and match the DNA to suspects, because each person has own unique DNA.Part of “forensic testing.”
13. Crop YieldBiotechnology improves the crop yield.Measure of how many crops are produced.
14. EthicsEthical Questions – deal with morally right or wrong issues.Examples: Cloning; Genetic Modification.
15. CloningProduces an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another.

17. BioremediationUses existing bacteria in the soil to clean up the environment.Examples: oil spills, toxic waste.
