Study Notes

Genetic Technologies

Artificial Selection: Human-directed breeding of plants or animals to enhance specific traits. Examples include dog breeds with particular sizes or temperaments.
Genetic Engineering: Direct alteration of an organism's DNA to change its traits. Used to create pest-resistant crops or mass-produce valuable proteins like insulin.
Gene Therapy: A medical approach modifying genes to combat or prevent diseases. An example is introducing a healthy gene to treat genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis.
Clone: A genetically identical copy of an organism, cell, or DNA segment. Dolly the sheep was the first mammal reproduced via this technique employing adult cells.
Genome: The entire set of DNA within an organism, holding all the genes. The Human Genome Project catalogued human genes to reveal our genetic make-up.
