Detailed and concise a level biology revision notes on recombinant DNA technology. This includes organised revision notes on producing DNA fragments, in vitro and in vivo genetic cloning, locating genes using DNA probes and genetic fingerprinting.
recombiant DNA
technology allows genes

organisms these

,
organisms
new industrial processes and medical applications
-
a number of diseases result from individuals being unable to produce for themselves various
metabolic chemicals ,
many of which are proteins g. insulin e. which are the product of
a
gene
↳ treatment of these previously involved extracting the chemical from a
human animal donor and introducing it to the patient

DNA" of one
organism
is accepted by different species and functions normally due to
the gÉÉsd and the process of transcription and translation
being the same .
: transferred DNA can be transcribed and translated normally
in the transgenic organism

, METHODS TO PRODUCE DNA FRAGMENTS
-
before it can be transplanted ,
it must be identified and isolated from the rest of
the DNA as a
fragment by :
•
conversion of mRNA into cDNA
using reverse transcriptase
using restriction endonucleases
to cut
fragments containing the desired
°
gene
•
creating the gene in a
gene
machine based on known protein structure
REVERSETRANSPTASE
-
retroviruses e.
g.
Hiv have them coded information on the form of RNA yet
in a host cell synthesise DNA using the
they are able to
enzyme reverse
transcription which catalyses production of DNA from RNA
-
cell readily producing the protein is selected
e.
g. B cells of islets of langerhans produce insulin
-
cells have large quantities of relevant mRNA which
is more
easily extracted
-
reverse transcriptase is this used to make DNA from
it
RNA
,
this ☐
complementary DNA LCDNA ) because ☐
made up of nucleotides complementary to mRNA
-
to
form the other strand of DNA ,
DNA polymerase is used
to build up the complementary nucleotides on the cDNA
template
-
double stranded DNA is
the required gene
