Processes involved in GENETIC ENGINEERING

ELICIT: FOUR PICS ONE WORD

❖ GENETIC ENGINEERING- is the process of using recombinant
DNA (rDNA) technology to alter the genetic makeup of an
organism.

ENGAGE: DOMESTICATION OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS

1. Why do humans domesticate certain plants and animals?

- Domesticating plants marked a major turning point for humans:

the beginning of an agricultural way of life and more
permanent civilizations. Humans no longer had to wander to
hunt animals and gather plants for their food supplies. In
Agriculture the cultivation of domestic plants allowed fewer
people to provide more food.

2. Enumerate other plants or animals with desirable traits.

● cows that produce lots of milk

● chickens that produce large eggs
● wheat plants that produce lots of grain
ACTIVITY 1: DEFINE EACH TERMS
1. PLASMID- A plasmid is a small, often circular DNA molecule found in
bacteria and other cells. Plasmids are separate from the bacterial
chromosome and replicate independently of it.
2. RESTRICTION ENZYMES- A restriction enzyme is an enzyme isolated
from bacteria that cuts DNA molecules at specific sequences. The
isolation of these enzymes was critical to the development of
recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology and genetic engineering.
3. CLONING- is the process of generating a genetically identical copy
of a cell or an organism.
4. CONJUGATION- is the process by which one bacterium transfers
genetic material to another through direct contact.
5. TRANSDUCTION- is the process by which a virus transfers genetic
material from one bacterium to another.

ACTIVITY 2: EXPRESS YOUR THOUGHTS

1. To make geologic time easier to comprehend, geologists divided

the 4.6 billion years of Earth's history into units of time called
eons. Then they further divided the eons into two or more eras,
eras into two or more periods, periods into two or more
epochs, and epochs into two or more ages.
 2. The geologic time scale was developed after scientists
observed changes in the fossils going from oldest to youngest
sedimentary rocks. They used relative dating to divide Earth's
past in several chunks of time when similar organisms were on
Earth.

ACTIVITY 3: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Humans are a race that is both young and old. We haven’t been
around for very long, and we don’t live very long. We also have a
vague, animal sense of time. We think in terms of generations, those
who came before us and those who came after us. We may
postulate, conclude, and carbon date beyond that, but our
intellectual knowledge of the earth’s great age is at odds with our
sensory experience of the passing days, seasons, and lifetimes.

ACTIVITY 3: SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

These words from Charles Darwin remind us that no matter how

strong or intelligent a species is, that if they don’t have the ability
to change in their ever changing situations and environments their
chances of surviving would be very limited. We need to adapt
sufficiently to constantly evolving conditions in order to ensure
survival and to provide the circumstances for continuity, growth and
success. Adaptation isn't best accomplished through answering
change. Reactions show up, by their temperament, resulting in
evolving conditions, and are frequently past the point of no return.
The best transformation requires prescience, receptiveness, and
obligation to guideline.
