- Like a genetic marker || They use Southern blotting to detect RFLPs. || RFLPs are use for detecting genetic disorders like Huntington's disease || They are used like a metal detector because it us find things wrong with our genetic sequence and metal detectors help us find metal || I have no problem with this process because it helping people in knowing if they are going to have a certain disease and possibly how they could treat it or if they cants treat it at least be prepared. || || http://www.bio.davidson.edu/courses/genomics/method/RFLP8.gif AP Biology Book || -viral RNA -viral DNA -foreign gene || 1. insert RNA version of normal allele into retrovirus 2. let retrovirus infect bone marrow cells that are removed 3. viral DNA carrying the normal allele inserts into chromosome 4. inject engineered cells into patient || Gene therapy can be used to treat diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Leber's congenital amaurosis || This process is like when the villains in Space Jam took the ability of NBA players and inserted the ability into themselves || I believe gene therapy is a good thing. Although it can lead to complications and sometimes death, it has been useful in helping individuals with diseases. || || http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Gene_therapy.jpg/300px-Gene_therapy.jpg AP Biology 7th Edition ||

 * Transgenic Animals || They bring one gene from one animal into another animal so that that animal has that specific gene || They first remove the egg and fertilize it. At the same time they have cloned the desire gene from another organism. They eject the cloned DNA into the egg. This will then created a transgenic animal. || They use this process to make better type of animals with better characteristics. So they can sell the animals for money because they have certain special traits. They also have engineered to be pharmaceutical "factories". || this reminds me of the movie GATTACA because they are taking certain genes of other things and putting it into a another organism to make a perfect organism || I guess i don't mind This process as long as they keep doing it to animals because this process does make the animals have better meat for us to eat so i think it isnt a harmful thing. || [[image:Transgenics_animal.jpg width="181" height="136"]] || http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Transgenics.gif

AP Biology 7th Edition || -sticky ends -transformed cells -new trait || 1. Ti plasmid is isolated 2. Isolated plasmids and foreign DNA are incubated. Some recombinant plasmids contain gene of interest 3. Recombinant plasmids can be introduced into cultured plant cells || This process is used in plants to introduce a trait it does not have naturally. Examples are resistance to certain pests, or diseases and environment or the production of a certain nutrient. || Again this process is like the movie Space Jam. The monsters in the movie take the ability of NBA stars and introduce that ability into their own bodies || I think this process is good for people because the production of nutrients can be increased by this process although there are some environmental issues with the process || || http://escience.ws/b572/L20/images/transfer_1.jpg AP Biology 7th Edition || - RFLP - DNA - Southern Blotting - DNA Fingerprinting || In this process they collect a sample of DNA from a crime scene then they put it through Gel Electrophoresis, Then after that it goes through southern blotting. Once that process is done the DNA bands of electrophoresis are exposed to probes for several different RFLP markers. This will then lead to the conclusion of the crime scene hopefully || This is used for excluding suspects from a certain type of crime so it narrows the suspects. it cannot give them the exact person because many people have same blood or tissue type. || This reminds me of all the crime scene investigation shows like CSI and NCIS. || I think that this process is very useful because it is putting people who commit murders in jail and giving them justice. || || http://www.insidershealth.com/app/webroot/img/upload/wysiwyg/genetic-profile-BC.jpg
 * Transgenic Plants || -isolated plasmids
