1. Cellular Differentiation during embryonic development 46 23 23 a. a zygote is the first cell of an organism with a full compliment of DNA
1. Cellular Differentiation during embryonic development b. the zygote undergoes mitosis giving rise to genetically identical daughter cells
2. Cellular Differentiation during embryonic development c. with each mitotic division during development, the daughter cells inherit identical copies of DNA; therefore, every diploid cell in an organism is genetically identical unless mutations occur
2. Cellular Differentiation during embryonic development d. cellular differentiation is the process by which genes are turned on and off, not changed, during embryonic development
2. Cellular Differentiation during embryonic development e. cellular differentiation results in different tissue types in a single organism
Turning Genes On and Off #49(Gene expression walkthrough) l http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=d. Si. SHR w. R 49 k l #50(turning off genes with the flick) l http: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=Ck. R 53 X 8 vks. Y l
3. The lac operon a. Collection of genes that regulate protein synthesis depending upon the cell’s needs b. Described as found in E. coli
3. The lac operon c. Operon is turned off in the absence of lactose d. Operon is turned on in the presence of lactose
4. Cloning
4. Cloning a. A clone is a cell or organism that is genetically identical; e. g. , identical twins which result from separation of an embryo before differentiation occurs b. Variable success has been realized in attempts to clone organisms, even mammals c. Both ethical and physical barriers exist when cloning of humans is considered
4. Cloning d. Basic process of cloning 1. nucleus is removed from an egg 2. nucleus is removed from an adult somatic cell and injected into the egg which had its nucleus removed 3. the resulting cell is then grown in culture to produce a blastocyst; i. e. , an early embryo consisting of a ball of app. 200 cells 4. the blastocyst can then be used to produce an entire organism (reproductive cloning) or used to provide embryonic stem cells which can be grown in culture (therapeutic use)
l Dolly the sheep l (July 5, 1996 – Feb 14, 2003)
5. Nuclear transplantation a. the process of cloning described above results from nuclear transplantation; i. e. , a nucleus from a differentiated adult cell is transplanted into a non-differentiated egg cell b. nuclear transplantation experiments have resulted in clones of plants and animals
5. Nuclear transplantation c. the resulting clones are genetically identical to the donor parent regardless of the adult cell type used as a donor d. differentiated adult cells must all have the same DNA if clones result from nuclear transplantation regardless of the donor cell type
5. Nuclear transplantation e. if the genome were different among different adult cell types, clones from these different cells would not be the same
6. Application of reproductive cloning a. Dolly is a sheep that was cloned from an adult cell b. Since Dolly, reproductive cloning has been used to establish clones for scientific, medical, and agricultural uses
6. Application of reproductive cloning c. Scientists have cloned pigs with a gene "knocked out" that codes for a protein making their hearts activate our immune system --- What's the application?
6. Application of reproductive cloning d. Scientists have cloned farm animals with specific sets of desirable traits e. Scientists are cloning mammals that are genetically engineered to synthesis valuable drugs
7. Stem cells video #85 (what can stem cells do) a. stem cells are cells that have not yet differentiated b. in the appropriate conditions, stem cells can be stimulated to differentiate into specific cell types; e. g. , nerve cells, muscles cells, etc. thus providing a source of tissue for therapeutic use
Stem Cells http: //video. pbs. org/video/1506726820/ http: //video. pbs. org/video/1511335379/ l http: //www. pbs. org/wgbh/nova/body/replac ing-body-parts. html
7. Stem cells c. growth factors can turn on and turn off particular genes and thus determine the fate of a particular cell d. embryonic stem cells are taken from early embryos and have the potential to differentiate into any cell type
7. Stem cells e. adults have stem cells; e. g. , bone marrow cells differentiate into different blood cell types and epidermal germ cells differentiate into different skin cell types f. although adult stem cells are typically more difficult to work with, they provide a potential source of stem cells without destroying embryos
Stem cells Video #88 (stem cells) l Video #86 (stem cell therapy injections) l Vidoe #87 (ask the young scientist) l
8. Cancer a. cancer can be caused by mutations in genes that control cell growth b. genes that cause cancer are called oncogenes, these are usually mutated genes that produce growth factor to stimulate cell division
8. Cancer c. genes that may become cancer causing are protooncogenes d. tumor suppressor genes inhibit cell growth, mutations of these genes can also cause cancer
8. Cancer e. carcinogen – “cancer generator” factors in the environment that can cause cancer

l Video: 97(Genetic engineering will change)
1. Cloning of genes through genetic engineering a. genetic engineering = direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes l b. gene cloning = making identical copies of genes (fig 12. 1) l
1. Cloning of genes through genetic engineering c. recombinant DNA = joining of two different sequences of DNA l d. plasmid = small, circular DNA molecule separate from the larger bacterial DNA l
1. l Cloning of genes through genetic engineering e. vector = virus or cell that transfers DNA to another cell
2. Restriction enzymes (fig 12. 2) a. enzyme = a substance, usually a protein, that catalyzes (facilitates) a reaction l b. restriction enzyme = an enzyme that recognizes a specific sequence of DNA and digests (cuts) the DNA at that recognition site l
2. Restriction enzymes AATTC G GAATTC l c. the resultant pieces of DNA after digestion with a restriction fragment are termed restriction fragments (if a linear strand of DNA has two recognition sites, digestion will produce three restriction fragments)

3. Forensics and DNA technology: a. Back ground l 1. everyone has a unique sequence of DNA (genome); although we are all human, our nucleotide sequences vary considerably
3. Forensics and DNA technology: 2. since each person’s genome differs, a given restriction enzyme will digest each genome differently and produce restriction fragments of different sizes and number (the odds of two people having the same DNA fingerprint are slim and next to none, one in a billion!)
3. Forensics and DNA technology: b. Crime scene analysis 1. a suspect’s DNA can be compared to crime scene DNA to determine if the suspect was present (DNA fingerprinting at work)
3. Forensics and DNA technology: 2. some DNA sample; e. g. , blood, semen, or hair, that is found at some crime scene is compared with a DNA sample from a suspect by digestion with the same restriction enzymes
Restriction enzymes CK A B A+B M A B 10 kb A 8 kb 2 kb B 7 kb 3 kb A 5 kb + 3 kb B 2 kb 3. digested DNA (restriction fragments) are “run” on an electrophoresis gel (fig 12. 12) which separates the fragments based on size and charge; i. e. , the smaller fragments travel further in the gel and opposite charges attract
3. Forensics and DNA technology: Defendant’s blood Blood from defendant’s clothes Victim’s blood 4. DNA fingerprints of the suspect and crime scene sample are compared, and, if found identical, a match is made

4. PCR Polymerase Chain Reaction is a series of chemical reactions that copy small DNA samples so that there is enough material to be analyzed
4. PCR a. Denaturation – heating the DNA to 94 C for 1 minute separates the 2 strands
4. PCR b. Annealing – DNA is cooled to 54 C and primers are added that select the strand to be replicated
4. PCR c. Extension – DNA is heated to 72 C the polymerase replicates the strand
4. PCR d. This process is repeated and the sample grows exponentially, doubling every cycle
