Biotechnology is the use of organisms or their products to improve human health and food production.

Forensics
*Forensics uses scientific techniques to collect DNA evidence for the legal system.
*DNA Fingerprinting is the identification of a person using his DNA. *It is 99% accurate! *It is performed by cutting DNA with enzymes and separating the fragments. *Electrophoresis uses electrical charges to separate DNA.

BIOTECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE
*Recombinant DNA technology uses the natural process of transcription and translation to alter organisms. *The fragment of DNA that contains the desired gene is cut and inserted into the genome of a microscopic biological agent like a bacteria or virus. *The bacteria or virus now contains recombinant DNA. *The vaccine for hepatitis B, human insulin, growth hormone, and clot-
dissolving medicine have all been created in this manner.

*Gene therapy- is used to help cure diseases. (replaces bad genes with good ones)

*Stem Cells- cells found in the human body that have yet to become a specialized type of cell.
*They have the amazing ability to become any type of cell. *They may come from: -adult bone marrow -umbilical cord blood -human embryos

Cloning
Clone- a member of a group of genetically identical cellsMay be produced by asexual reproduction (mitosis)

Cloning organismsA body cell from one organism and an egg cell from another are fusedThe resulting cell divides like a normal embryoCould allow a childless couple to have a child, create tissues, or cure diseases.

Human Genome Project
Started in 1990Research effort to sequence all of our DNA (46 chromosomes)Over 3.3 billion nucleotidesMapping every gene location (loci)Conducted by scientists around the world

Biotechnology in Agriculture
*Recombinant DNA technology has greatly improved crops. (better quality and more bountiful products)*Plants now resist many herbicides, insects, and even frost.*Rice has now been genetically engineered to overcome Vitamin A and iron deficiency.
