Genetic Technologies Mind Map
- DNA Fingerprinting
- What Is It?
- DNA fingerprinting is a way of identifying a specific individual, rather than simply identifying a species or some
particular trait. It is also known as genetic fingerprinting or DNA profiling.

- What Do We Use It For?
- DNA fingerprinting isused for paternity and maternity tests. DNA fingerprinting may also be used as a system of personal
identification as well as used for medical purposes in detecting and curing genetic diseases.

- How Is It Applied To Medicine And Gene Therapy?
- DNA fingerprinting is applied to medicine and gene therapy because it can

- What Is It?
- Bioweaponry
- What is it?
- Genetically modified disease-causing organisms designed to infect people and make them sick or ill.
- Genetically modified disease-causing organisms designed to infect people and make them sick or ill.
- What do we use it for?
- Bioweaponry is used to infect people and cause sickness and illness. These effects can be utilized by world
powers for reasons of national defense, or by terrorists.

- How is it dangerous to our population?
- If a genetically modified disease-causing organism is exposed to a population, there will of course be
widespread illness or death.

- What is it?
- Genetic engineering
- Genetic engineering is the manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. A nuclease is used to
remove the undesired gene and a new one is formed either through molecular cloning or by synthesizing the
DNA and inserting it into the host organism.
- Genetic engineering has a wide range of uses including medicine, research, industry, and agriculture. It is
heavily used in agriculture to produce genetically modified foods such as seedless fruits and vegetables, or
hybrid crosses between grown foods. One other use in agriculture is to produce grown foods that are
resistant to certain diseases or viruses that affect crops.
- Genetic engineering has a wide array of uses in medicine and has led to big medical breakthroughs such
as the mass production of insulin, human growth hormone, human albumin, and many different vaccines.

- Gene Therapy
- Gene therapy is the genetic engineering of humans by replacing defective cells on DNA strands with
working functional copies. It has been used to treat many disease including Parkinson’s disease and
chronic lymphocytic leukemia

- Gene Therapy
- How is it applied to medicine: Gene therapy is applied to medicine because it makes people who are
diseased and you transplant the corrective genes and that makes the person healthy again. This is not used
in the medical fields because it could have serious side effects.
- What do we use it for: Gene therapy is used for the correction of defective cells that we can’t find another
cure for do to the side effects that are associated with gene therapy. We use the gene therapy to replace the
defective cells with the transplant of corrective cells in the form of DNA and RNA. This results in the DNA or
RNA being replaced by the healthy strands. With this process will correct the deficient cells returning them
back to normal.
- What is it: Gene therapy is the experimental technique of transplant of putting corrective cells in the place of
the missing or defective cells this treat’s or prevents disease. This is done through the alter of DNA or RNA
there fore corrects the disease. Even though this treatment is promising it is still risky and the process is not
entirely safe and can cause serous side effects that is why it is currently being treated on diseases with no
cures.

diseased and you transplant the corrective genes and that makes the person healthy again. This is not used
in the medical fields because it could have serious side effects.
- Transgenic
- What is it: Transgenic organisms are an organism that has its DNA changed by the infusion of genes from
another organism. The genetic change that occurs happens when you insert DNA into an embryo with the
help of a virus or plasmid. The embryo then develops into a mature organism which will express the gene.
Transgenic organisms can also pass the modification on to future generations by breeding with other
members of the same species.
- What do we use it for: Transgenic is the process when new genes are introduced into a genetic species. Any
offspring now will inherit the gene now because now the parents have that gene. This allows for wanted traits
to be part of the genetic line which can make a species stronger or have the adaptions to survive.
- How is it applied to medicine: Transgenic’s is applied with medicine Transgenic organisms are an organism
that has its DNA changed by the infusion of genes from another organism. It’s applied with medicine because
of the manipulation of genes. This is done by the genetic change that occurs happens when you insert DNA
into an embryo with the help of a virus or plasmid. The embryo then develops into a mature organism which
will express the gene.
