A New Breed
The tomatoes in your salad and the dog in your backyard are a result of
selective breeding. Over thousands of years, humans have developed
breeds of animals and plants that have desirable characteristics. How do
breeders predict the results of crossing individuals with different traits?

1. Think of two very different breeds of dogs that are familiar to you. On a
sheet of paper, construct a table that has the following three heads: the
name of each of the two dog breeds, and “Cross-Breed.
2. The rows of the table should be labeled with characteristics found in
both breeds of dogs. Examples might include size, color, type of coat,
intelligence, aggression, and so on.
3. Fill in the column for each of the two dog breeds. In the column labeled
“Cross-Breed,” write in the characteristic you would expect to see in a
cross between the two breeds you have selected.

The Smallest Scissors in the World
Have you ever used your word processor’s Search function? You can
specify a sequence of letters, whether it is a sentence, a word, or
nonsense, and the program scrolls rapidly through your document,
finding every occurrence of that sequence. How might such a function
be helpful to a molecular biologist who needs to “search” DNA for the
right place to divide it into pieces?

1. Copy the following series of DNA nucleotides onto a sheet of paper.
GTACTAGGTTAACTGTACTATCGTTAACGTAAGCTACGTTAACCTA
2. Look carefully at the series, and find this sequence of letters: GTTAAC.
It may appear more than once.
3. When you find it, divide the sequence in half with a mark of your pencil.
You will divide it between the T and the A. This produces short segments
of DNA. How many occurrences of the sequence GTTAAC can you find?

Sneaking In
You probably have heard of computer viruses. Once inside a
computer, these programs follow their original instructions and
override instructions already in the host computer. Scientists use
small “packages” of DNA to sneak a new gene into a cell, much as a
computer virus sneaks into a computer.

The Good With the Bad
The manipulation of DNA allows scientists to do some interesting
things. Scientists have developed many transgenic organisms, which
are organisms that contain genes from other organisms. Recently,
scientists have removed a gene for green fluorescent protein from a
jellyfish and tried to insert it into a monkey.

Cloning
A body cell is taken from a donor animal.
An egg cell is taken from a donor animal.
The nucleus is removed from the egg.
The body cell and egg are fused by electric shock.
The fused cell begins dividing, becoming an embryo.
The embryo is implanted into the uterus of a foster mother.
The embryo develops into a cloned animal.

sheet of paper, construct a table that has the following three heads: the
name of each of the two dog breeds, and “Cross-Breed.
Encourage students to refer only to breeds with which they are familiar.
2. The rows of the table should be labeled with characteristics found in both
breeds of dogs. Examples might include size, color, type of coat,
intelligence, aggression, and so on.
Additional traits might include shape of ears, shape of muzzle (pointed or
square), or length of legs with respect to body.
3. Fill in the column for each of the two dog breeds. In the column labeled
“Cross-Breed,” write in the characteristic you would expect to see in a
cross between the two breeds you have selected.
Students will likely assume that traits of the cross-breed are intermediate
between those of the two parent breeds.

some ways that a file can be added to a computer’s memory?
A file can be downloaded from a diskette, a CD, or the Internet.
2. Why would a person download a virus program?
The computer user would not willingly download a virus but would
download a program that was useful.
3. If scientists want to get some DNA into a cell, such as a bacterial cell, to
what sort of molecule might they attach the DNA?
Possible answers: a useful protein or a strand of DNA that the cell would
recognize and accept

1. Transgenic animals are often used in research. What might be the benefit
to medical research of a mouse whose immune system is genetically
altered to mimic some aspect of the human immune system?
Students may say that a mouse with a humanlike immune system would be
a good laboratory model for immune research.
2. Transgenic plants and animals may have increased value as food sources.
What might happen to native species if transgenic animals or plants were
released into the wild?
Transgenic organisms might disrupt normal balances in ecosystems and
could breed with natural populations, changing them.
