What to Focus On
- Genetics has evolved through three eras: early ideas, modern genetics, and molecular genetics.
- Humans have practiced selective breeding since ancient times.
- Mendel is known as the founder of modern genetics.
- Gene cloning means producing many copies of a particular gene.
- Recombinant DNA technology is used for gene cloning.
- A gene bank stores bacterial clones carrying foreign genes.
- Recombinant DNA is formed by joining DNA from two different organisms.
- Restriction endonucleases cut DNA at specific sites.
- Plasmids act as vectors to transfer foreign DNA into bacteria.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Gene cloning means creating a whole new organism like Dolly the sheep.
Plasmids are part of the bacterial chromosome.
Restriction enzymes cut DNA randomly.
Memory Tips
Gene cloning is producing multiple copies of a specific gene using recombinant DNA technology.
Gene bank is a collection of bacterial clones, each carrying a specific foreign gene for future use.
Steps of recombinant DNA technology: Isolate gene → cut with restriction enzyme → insert into plasmid → transfer to bacteria → clone
Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences.
