Genetic modification (also called genetic engineering or rDNA technology) allows for the transfer of genetic material directly from one organism to another (across the species and kingdom barriers) at the molecular level.

Using the figure above of Griffith's experiment, the hypothesis rewritten to follow proper formatting could be: If genetic material in a dead bacterial cell can be transformed, then another living bacterial cell will inherit the material and express its traits. True False
You have found a gene of interest in an animal in the rain forest which produces a unique protein that will blocks reproduction of the pathogen that now plagues the world. You wish to mass produce this protein using bacteria. Answer the following questions regarding the scenario above. Describe how you would remove the gene of interest out of the isolated animal cell. What type of vector, (delivery system), would be best used to get the gene into the bacteria? How would you insert the gene of interest into the vector? How would get the vector into the bacteria? Why would the bacteria express this gene even if it normally does not have use for this protein?
Consider reintroduction and augmentation programs. Are they worth it? Are there circumstances in which they are not worth it? For augmentation programs specifically, is it a concern that novel genetic material, in the form of DNA from a closely-related species, is introduced? Why or Why not?
find an example of a set of genes that have been horizontally gene transferred between bacteria or archaea. Which organisms are the genes transferred between? Explain the set of genes that were transferred. Include what they are for and what the advantage to sharing those genes are.What do the organisms use the genes for?Which organisms the transfer happened between?What might be the advantage be to share the genes with other organisms?
What is horizontal gene transfer and how can this process potentially change how we view relatedness among the three Domains? Provide an example of a species with characteristics that results from horizontal gene transfer.
