Chapter 20: Biotechnology The AP Biology exam has reached into this chapter for essay questions on a regular basis over the past 15 years. Student responses show that biotechnology is a difficult topic. This chapter requires a strong conceptual understanding of the technological processes and the underlying biology that guides the procedure. With a little careful work, this chapter will give you insights into the incredible advancements already made and a basis for understanding the new marvels yet to be discovered in biotechnology. Overview 1. It is important to understand the meaning of the three terms in bold to start this chapter.

Genetic Technology Applied Genetics Selective Breeding Selective breeding is the breeding of organisms to produce certain desired traits in their offspring In selective breeding, a genome is changed slowly and deliberately, over many generations. Selective breeding is one example of biotechnology. Biotechnology is the use of living organisms to make products, such as medicines and improved crops, or to benefit humans. Ancient peoples native to North and South America used selective breeding to develop corn and potatoes from wild plants. Today, farmers still use selective breeding to develop new crops. In order for a new breed with a desired trait to be established, only the offspring that inherit the desired trait are selected to reproduce.

Campbell's Biology, 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 20 Biotechnology The new questions in Chapter 20 cover all of the chapter?s concepts and are primarily at the higher skill levels. In addition, the chapter presents several scenarios that are accompanied by a series of questions. Multiple-Choice Questions 1) Assume that you are trying to insert a gene into a plasmid. Someone gives you a preparation of genomic DNA that has been cut with restriction enzyme X. The gene you wish to insert has sites on both ends for cutting by restriction enzyme Y. You have a plasmid with a single site for Y, but not for X. Your strategy should be to A) insert the fragments cut with restriction enzyme X directly into the plasmid without cutting the plasmid.

Biology: Ch. 20 Study Guide Explain how advances in recombinant DNA technology have helped scientists study the eukaryotic genome. In short: Recombinant DNA has allowed the creation of the biotechnology industry. Longer explanation: Recombinant DNA is DNA in which nucleotide sequences from two different sources ? often different species ? are combined in vitro into the same DNA molecule. Once created by scientists, it is introduced into cultured cells that replicate the DNA and express its genes, creating a desired protein product. This has allowed genetic engineering (the direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes), which has created the biotech industry. Explain the goals of the Human Genome Project.
