MCB 2000L Lecture Notes - Lecture 11: Protozoa, Herbicide, Base Pair
Document Summary
A single base pair change is called a ____ mutation. ____ codons terminates the process of protein synthesis. Chemicals that resemble bases (a/g/t/c) but do not function. A pole in between dna ladder that causes dna polymerase to make a mistake. ____ light does not penetrate deep into tissue. ____ penetrate deep into tissues and actually breaks dna. Using bacteria to test for damage to dna for use of food and cosmetics. 3 goals of recombinant dna technology: eliminate undesirable phenotypic trains in organisms, combine beneficial traits of two or more organisms to create valuable new organisms, create organisms that synthesize products humans need. Having a collection of bacteria that carry portions of dna. Making bacteria porous using electricity in order to be receptive to new dna. Growing proteins that belong to pathogens that were grown into bacteria. Agricultural applications of recombinant dna: herbicide resistance, salt tolerance, freeze resistance, pest resistance, improvements on yield.
