Terrific Tuesday!!!!!!!!!



So the agenda and home work for today was the following:
1)Take out UP 73-74, + 79 w/ stamp sheet
2)Genetic Engineering Tools
3)Video: Not so perfect match
HW
1)UP 75-78
2)Test Friday
3)Retake Quiz - Thurs


Well to sum up the notes we started out with restriction enzyme which cut a DNA segment and leaves sticky ends to place a new gene in. The plasmids are circular DNA that is found in bacteria. scientists use restriction enzymes to cut the plasmid so that a gene may be inserted and make various proteins like insulin, human growth hormone, and pest resistance in plants. And DNA finger printing is the analysis of gel electrophoresis to compare the genomes of organisms and is used in crime investigations and paternity tests.
