    The document discusses genetic engineering techniques such as adding DNA to organisms to introduce new traits, using examples like Enviropigs that produce less phosphorus waste and venomous cabbage that deters caterpillars but not humans. It explains the basic components of DNA including its double helix structure and four nucleotide bases. The document also introduces CRISPR-Cas9 as a new gene editing platform that uses RNA and Cas9 protein to precisely remove, alter, or add DNA. It raises questions about how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) impact society and enterprises and mentions potential consequences like loss of biodiversity.

    GENETIC ENGINEERING

    manually adding DNA to organisms

    the goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in the organism

    Bizarre Genetic Engineering

    Enviropigs

    Venomous Cabbage - affect caterpillars but not humans

    Banana Vaccine - banana (ideal) as vaccine, with potatoes, lettuce, etc.

    Medicinal Egg - genetically modified hens, produced cancer-fighting, added human genes to
    them

    DNA

    genetic material which is stored in the nucleus


    double helix structure
    the recipe for life

    - friedrich mieschcer, watson, and crick

    4 subunits:
    adenine
    guanine
    thymine
    cytosine
    CRISPR - CAS9

    RNA guided by gene editing platforms to make use of bacterially derived protein and a synthetic
    guide
    a unique technology
    enables medical researchers by removing, altering, or adding
    the most versatile and precise method of genetic manipulation
    1. How do GMOs affect our society, consequences, and enterprises?
    - Do we have these in our country?

    - Causes loss of biodiversity - The GM crops harm biodiversity through a reduction in the
    insects that serve as a source of food for other kinds of wildlife such as birds and
    carnivorous plants. The Research found that, when Monarch butterflies feed on leaves
    that are covered in pollen from GM corn, their growth was slower and they were more
    likely to die
