What type of biological molecule is insulin? (Activity 4.1.1)
Protein Hormone
In 1945 how did a diabetic person test their sugar levels? (Activity 4.1.1)
Tablets and an orange color indicates high sugar levels.
Around which year did insulin injections become available? (Activity 4.1.1)
1920s
Blood is pumped through a machine where it is cleaned and filtered and then it is returned to my body. (Activity 4.1.1)
Dialysis
Around the 1970's/1980's this organism was used to create insulin. (Activity 4.1.1)
Bacteria
Which type of diabetes does Diana Jones have?
Type I
The direct manipulation of genes for practical purposes. (Activity 4.1.2)
Genetic Engineering
One reason bacteria are useful for genetic engineering. (Activity 4.1.2)
1. They replicate quickly 2. Their structure provides scientists with the ability to "highjack" their molecular machinery and insert a new gene (new protein)
What is a gene? (Activity 4.1.2)
A piece of DNA that provides the instructions for making a protein.
A small ring of DNA that carries accessory genes separate from those of the bacterial chromosome. (Activity 4.1.2)
plasmids
Explain how bacteria uses plasmids to increase genetic diversity.
Plasmids can be passed back and forth. (genes on the genome cannot)
What is a possible beneficial result of bacteria swapping plasmids? (Activity 4.1.2)
Antibiotic Resistance
Why would a scientists insert the code for a protein of interest into a plasmid? (Activity 4.1.2)
The bacteria will start producing that protein (like insulin for example)
When DNA has been inserted into a plasmid it is called this... (Activity 4.1.2)
Recombinant DNA
The uptake and expression of foreign DNA by a cell. (Activity 4.1.2)
Transformation
Where does the GFP come from? (Activity 4.1.2)
Jellyfish
