What is Genetic Engineering? |
Direct manipulation of an organisms genes using Biotech |
Gill what he did to Necro |
|
What is Metabolic Engineering? |
Direct improvement of cellular properties through modification of specific biochemical reactions |
Improve some properties and Genome the reactions |
|
Why Genetic or Metabolic engineer in the first place? (give four reasons) |
More product , more efficiency and cheaper Faster growth means higher speed of the products |
More pro..... , More useful /waste energy, and more Mr Krabs and Sonic the Hedgehog |
|
What are the five steps of Genetic Engineering? |
1) Isolate plasmid from bacterium 2) Isolate gene of interest from another cell 3) Insert gene of insert into the plasmid by using restrictive enzymes to cut it and ligase enzymes to stich it up back 4) Bacterial cell has the plasmid + new gene and goes through process called transformation 5) Bacterial cell divides with this new gene with it |
Gill grabs some Scar thy DNA and sticks it in Necro's bacterial cell and necro has new gene in something called with a p and now he has electric powers |
|
What is Flux? |
Rate of metabolites at which input metabolites are processed to form metabolism |
Speed of which metal Mario is functioned in to make metal Mario ism |
|
What is the purpose of Genetic Engineering? |
Promote development of biotech like human insulin |
