| Here you will find links to animation, tutorials, articles in the followign
topics:
1)DNA fingerprining
a. Techniques
b. Forensic use
c. Restriction and Electrophoresis
2)Genetic Engineering
a. Genetically engineered plants
b. Comparison with selective breeding
c. Transformation of bacteria, plants.
3) Cloning
4) Stem Cell Research
Standard 5c: Students know how genetic engineering (biotechnology) is used
to produce novel biomedical and agricultural products.
*5d: Students know how basic DNA technology (restriction digestion by
endonucleases, gel electrophoresis, ligation, and transformation) is used to
construct recombinant DNA molecules.
*5e: Students know how exogenous DNA can be inserted into bacterial cells to
alter their genetic makeup and support expression of new protein products. | |
