PPT-Biotechnology of GMOs: Genetically Modified Organisms

How can we use our understanding of DNA genomes and gene expression to help solve issues in the world To what extent SHOULD we apply this knowledge into action Universality of the Genetic Code. I. Selective Breeding. 1.) . Selective breeding . = The process by which desired traits of certain plants and animals are selected and passed on to their future generations.. Breed only those plants or animals with desirable traits. GMOs should not be banned because of all their positive qualities.. GMOs are used to help malnutrition of vitamin A. Golden rice was developed to give the consumer a substantial amount of vitamin A. This allows people in suffering countries to still get the nourishment they need.. What is it? . The study and manipulation of any living thing or their component molecules, cells, tissues, or organs.. Biotechnology. Biotechnology helps to meet our basic needs.. Food, clothing, shelter, health and safety. Introduction. Lecture 1. Biotechnology. It implies with the use of microorganisms, plants, animals or parts of them for the production of useful compounds.. Pharmaceutical biotechnology. It is concerned as the biotechnological manufacturing of pharmaceutical products. . As reading, manipulating, and exploiting genetic information becomes easier and cheaper, tools will emerge to control both the access to and the sharing of this information. Following the lead of digital rights management (DRM), genetic watermarks and amino acid safety locks will become the cornerstones of an increasingly controversial practice of genetic rights management (GRM), designed for both safety and IP control.. .. . Humans domesticate crops . and livestock.. Potatoes first cultivated . for food.. Biotechnology Timeline. 2000 B.C.E.. Biotechnology used to leaven bread . and ferment beer, using yeast (Egypt).. the mice in these two groups?. What is genetic engineering?. Genetic engineering is the . direct. . modification of an organism’s genome. , which is the list of specific traits (genes) stored in the DNA. . Biotechnology: the branch of . molecular biology . that studies the use of . microorganisms. to perform specific industrial processes; "biotechnology produced . genetically altered . bacteria that solved the problem"  . Biomedical Technology I. 3.03. GMO’s:. Also known as Transgenic Organisms. Are species that carry one or more genes from another species.. These have continued to improve since the 1970’s. Advantages:. YongxianCohen www.sciencedirect.comOpinionChemicalBiology observed Professor Fragiskos Kolisis, . School of Chemical Engineering,. The National Technical University of Athens. Definition. :. . b. iotechnology. is the use of biological processes, organisms, or systems to manufacture products intended to improve the quality of human life. . What is the difference between . the mice in these two groups?. What is genetic engineering?. Genetic engineering is the . direct modification of an organism’s genome. , which is the list of specific traits (genes) stored in the DNA. . . 4. FE314. -. . Biotechnology. Spring . 201. 7. Application of Biotechnology in . Food Industry . Biotechnology . – using living organisms, or the products of living organisms, for human benefit to make a product or solve a problem. Sandra. . Lombe. and Christopher . Simuntala. National Biosafety Authority. Zambia. Problems. . 1. . After the 2001/2002 drought which threatened the countries food security the international community responded by donating genetically modified maize. The government of the day rejected the donation due to uncertainties and lack of capacity in biotechnology..
