Science (Advances in Genetics)

Three methods that people have used to develop organisms with desirable traits.

• Selective Breeding • Clone • Genetic Engineering

Genome

All DNA in one cell of an organism.

Clone

An organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which is produced.

A person with one recessive and one dominant allele for a trait.

Carrier

An organism that is genetically identical to the organism from which it was produced.

Clone

T or F? Cloning can only be done in animals.

False. Can only be done plants.

T or F? In hybridization, breeders cross two individuals that are genetically identical.

False. Hybridization= different.

Genetic Engineering

Genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of another organism.

DNA fingerprinting

Genetic technique breaks up DNA and separate it into a pattern.

All the DNA in one cell of an organism.

Genome

Breeders cross two genetically different organisms.

Hybridization

Breeders cross two genetically similar organisms.

Inbreeding

A picture of all the chromosomes in a cell.

Karyotype

A chart that tracks which family members have a certain trait.

Pedigree

Gene Therapy

The insertion of working copies of a gene into the cells of a person with a genetic disorder.

Selective Breeding

The process of selecting desired traits to be parents of the next generation. There are two types of selective breeding: inbreeding and hybridization. Inbreeding is crossing two individuals with the same characteristics. Hybridization is crossing two genetically different individuals.

Goal of Human Genome Project

To identify the DNA sequence of gene in the Human Genome.
