Chapter 11, Problem 12TYK
SCIENTIFIC THINKING Each scientist works as part of a broader community of scientists, building on the work of others. Scientific advances often depend on the application of new technologies and/or on new techniques applied to an existing problem. What improvements to existing cloning methods did Wilmut make that allowed him to successfully clone Dolly the sheep from an adult cell?

It focuses on the use of living organisms and their biological processes to make useful products and address practical problems. This includes advancements in clinical diagnostics, epidemiological tracking, forensics, industry, and many other areas. In this simulation, you will have the opportunity to perform molecular techniques commonly used in the field of biotechnology to create medically important compounds such as insulin and human growth hormone.Bacteria can obtain naked DNA from their environment in a process called transformation. This process occurs naturally but can also be used in the genetic engineering field to alter the genetic makeup of bacteria. In this simulation, you transform bacteria with a jellyfish gene whose product is green fluorescent protein. The transformed bacteria now have the genetic information to produce GFP (green fluorescent protein), causing them to glow green under…arrow_forward

NOTE: If you want to change your selection, you'll need to delete the one you already chose. After you delete it, the list of choices will pop back up and you can make a different choice.

The inserted gene is usually from another species. The purpose of this manipulation is to give the target organism and its offspring a new trait that improves it in some way. The improvement might, for example, give the organism higher vitamin content. The process is called genetic engineering. 1. What are genetically modified organisms? 2.
