KINE 200 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Cervical Cancer, Precancel, Colonoscopy
Document Summary
A procedure where a segment of dna from one species is cut out and transferred to another species. Commonly termed recombinant dna technology : combining dna to get a new product. Not a new invention: genetic exchange occurs in nature. Incorporation of viral dna into hosts: humans have conducted selective breeding. Intentionally crossing plants or animals to produce an ideal o spring. Dogs: hypoallergenic dogs, pure bread dogs. Mutts live longer lives (more variation in genome) Crops that contain vaccine products: soymeds. Intrusion into the evolutionary process: changing genetics does not allow for natural change to occur. Gamble with human health: we don"t know the consequences of gmo"s (newer ones are not the same as ones around for a long time - corn modi ed but grown, lab made foods probably could have consequences?) Spread of disease might become associated with the spread of gmo"s in environment.
