BIOL 100 Lecture Notes - Lecture 14: Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer, Hybridization Probe, Fluorescent Tag
Document Summary
Epigenetics- are genetic effects that not coded by dna. : enzyme responsible for pigment production in siamese cat fur is active in cool body parts, temperature of nest determines gender of reptiles. Polygenic- some phenotypes that affected by more than one gene. Dna can be manipulated by scientist (dna technology) Identify transgenic organisms and recombinant dna why are they used: dna"s tools. Dna profiling: using dna technology to copy cells and organisms. A transgenic organism has recombinant dna (dna from another species: use of transgenic organisms in. Scientist extract some dna from human cell and insert it into bacteria. Since all organisms have same genetic code the one who receives the cells can produce proteins encoded by the new genes: use of transgenic organisms in agriculture and animal husbandry. Bacterial dna can be used to introduce new genes into multicellular eukaryotes: dna profiling. Dna sequencing can be used to detect genetic differences similarities between individuals.
