Document Summary
Ex. foods, antibiotics, vitamins, enzymes modification of genes to produce desired proteins. Recombinant dna (rdna) technology is a specific type of biotechnology: insertion or. Insulin, hepatitis vaccine, doesn"t always have to be pharmaceutical. Mutation: use of mutagens (such as chemicals/radiation) to cause mutations that. We can actually create artificial selection to get desired traits. example: might result in a microbe with a desirable trait. specific breed of dogs. Maybe one looks directly for ccga and at that spot it cuts. A restriction enzyme is an enzyme that cuts specific sequences of dna. Restriction enzymes exist naturally in bacteria, and can be isolated and used by. What is their natural function for bacteria? new dna scientists. Their natural function is to allow for the insertion of new genes into the chromosome. Lacz gene helps us break down lactose: within there are these restriction.
