  1. APPLIED GENETICS

  2. APPLIED GENETICS • USING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF GENES TO CREATE CHANGES IN THE DNA OF ORGANISMS • THERE ARE THREE AREAS OF UNDERSTANDING • MUTATIONS • GENETIC DISORDERS • GENETIC ENGINEERING APPLIED GENETICS

  3. MUTATIONS • DEFINITION -- ?? • TWO KINDS • CHROMOSOMAL MUTATIONS • GENE MUTATIONS • CAUSES • MUTAGENS (X-RAYS, CHEMICALS, ETC) • UNKNOWN FACTORS (MISTAKES IN REPLICATION) APPLIED GENETICS

  4. CHROMOSOMAL MUTATIONS • DEFINITION -- ?? APPLIED GENETICS

  5. GENE MUTATION • DEFINTION -- ?? APPLIED GENETICS

  6. GENETIC DISORDERS • DEFINITION -- ?? • LEARNING ABOUT GENETIC DISORDERS GIVES US IDEAS ON HOW TO TREAT THEM • PEDIGREE CHARTS APPLIED GENETICS

  7. GENETIC DISORDERS IN HUMANS • CYSTIC FIBROSIS • SICKLE-CELL DISEASE • PHENYLKETONURIA (PKU) • HUNTINGTON DISEASE • DOWN’S SYNDROME APPLIED GENETICS

  8. DETECTING DISORDERS APPLIED GENETICS

  9. GENETIC ENGINEERING • DEFINITION -- ?? • FORMS • BREEDING* • GENE ISOLATION • GENE RECOMBINATION • GENE INSERTION • CLONING APPLIED GENETICS

  10. SELECTIVE BREEDING APPLIED GENETICS

  11. GENE ISOLATION • WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO CUT OUT/SEPARATE GENES…SO WE NEED “DNA SCISSORS” RESTRICTION ENZYMES APPLIED GENETICS

  12. DNA INSERTION & RECOMBINANT DNA APPLIED GENETICS

  13. CLONING • DEFINTION -- ?? • JUST BECAUSE ORGANISMSARE GENETICALLY IDENTICAL, DOES THAT MEAN THEY WILL LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE? APPLIED GENETICS

  14. WITH ALL THESE DIFFERENT WAYS OF CHANGING DNA, AND CREATING NEW FORMS OF GENES (TRAITS) HOW COME WE DON’T SEE AN ENDLESS NUMBER OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORGANISMS? • EVOLUTION IS NEXT!! APPLIED GENETICS
