Study Notes
General Biology 2 - 2nd Semester - Module 1 - Recombinant DNA
- Module Details: This module covers recombinant DNA, genetic engineering, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
- Biological Principles: The central dogma of molecular biology explains the flow of genetic information from genes to protein.
- Activity 1: DECODE ME: This activity assesses understanding of protein synthesis and how DNA modification affects organismal characteristics. Includes identifying biomolecules like DNA, amino acids, and the process of replication.
- Activity 2: Explain the Modification: This activity focuses on observations and analysis of rice color differences, and the concept of modification to the genetic makeup of plants (and animals) through genetic engineering.
- Genetic Engineering: This process directly alters an organism's genome by manipulating DNA. DNA serves as a universal genetic language across all organisms.
- Genetic Engineering Techniques: Involves identifying a desirable gene, extracting it, isolating it, preparing the target DNA, inserting the new DNA into a plasmid, reintroducing the plasmid into a cell, enabling plasmid multiplication, and then producing proteins from the inserted gene.
- Recombinant DNA Technology: This technique introduces a foreign DNA sequence into an organism's genome. This process utilizes tools like restriction enzymes, which cut DNA at specific sequences, creating "sticky ends".
- Transgenic Plants: Created by inserting and transferring genes to modify plant characteristics (e.g., resistance to herbicides, insects, or viruses).
- Transgenic Animals: Used to produce specific proteins or pharmaceutical compounds while also enabling greater speed and range of selective breeding.
- Hormones: Recombinant DNA technology allows large-scale production of hormones like insulin; the process involves inserting the relevant gene into a bacterial cell.
- Vaccines: DNA vaccines, created through recombinant DNA technology, have revolutionized approaches to treating and preventing infectious diseases like polio, malaria, cholera, hepatitis, etc.
- Interferon: Interferons, glycoproteins produced by cells infected by viruses, exhibit antiviral and anti-cancer properties and are produced in high quantities using recombinant DNA technology.
- Antibiotics: Methods using recombinant DNA technology increase the production of antibiotics.
- Commercially important Chemicals: Recombinant DNA technology aids in producing commercially important chemicals, like alcohols, organic acids, and vitamins.
- Enzyme Engineering: This involves modifying enzyme structure, achieved by altering the gene that encodes the enzyme.
- Disease Prevention and Treatment: Genetic engineering has revolutionized diagnosis and prevention of diseases, including producing monoclonal antibodies and applying gene therapy techniques.
- Activity 3 & 4: In these activities, students understand the techniques surrounding desirable traits. Recombinant DNA technology and traditional breeding processes are examined, with activities like identifying desirable traits and explaining the techniques used to achieve them.
- Activity 5: This activity deals with manipulating plasmids and using restriction enzymes, examining the process of creating recombinant DNA.
- Assessment: This section includes comprehension questions on genetic engineering and its applications.
Additional Activities
- Activity 8: This activity requires creating infographics about the pros and cons of genetic engineering. This section also provides a rubric for evaluation.
Appendix
- Restriction Enzyme Sequence Cards: These provide reference sequences for restriction enzyme activity.
