Study Notes

Polly and Molly vs Dolly the Sheep

The crucial difference in creating Polly and Molly compared to Dolly the Sheep is that they were genetically engineered to produce a human protein, whereas Dolly was not.
Polly and Molly are unique because they were the first transgenic animals, meaning they were genetically engineered to produce a specific protein.

Recombinant DNA Technology and Animal Cloning

The gene chosen for insertion into Polly and Molly's cells was the human gene for alpha-1 antitrypsin, a protein used to treat cystic fibrosis.
The potential use of the recombinant DNA technology combined with animal cloning is to produce large quantities of human proteins for therapeutic purposes.

Therapeutic Protein

The therapeutic protein inserted into Polly and Molly for was alpha-1 antitrypsin, used to treat cystic fibrosis and other lung diseases.
