Understandings:
3.5.U1: Gel electrophoresis is used to separate proteins or fragments of DNA according to size.
3.5.U2: PCR can be used to amplify small amounts of DNA.
3.5.U3: DNA profiling involves comparison of DNA.
3.5.U4: Genetic modification is carried out by gene transfer between species.
3.5.U5: Clones are groups of genetically identical organisms, derived from a single original parent cell.
3.5.U6: Many plant species and some animal species have natural methods of cloning.
3.5.U7: Animals can be cloned at the embryo stage by breaking up the embryo into more than one group of cells.
3.5.U8: Methods have been developed for cloning adult animals using differentiated cells.
Applications:
3.5.A1: Use of DNA profiling in paternity and forensic investigations.
3.5.A2: Gene transfer to bacteria using plasmids makes use of restriction endonucleases and DNA ligase.
3.5.A3: Assessment of the potential risks and benefits associated with genetic modification of crops.
3.5.A4: Production of cloned embryos produced by somatic-cell nuclear transfer.
Skills:
