1. Taste plain paper

2. Taste PTC paper
describe the taste
Phenylthiocarbamide (PTC)
is a chemical produced by
plants like cabbage, broccoli,
Brussel sprouts, turnips,
and kale.
70% of the U.S. population
detects at least some
bitterness when
they taste PTC.
TT - very bitter
Tt - slightly bitter
tt -
non-taster
Tasters show a greater
sensitivity to a wide
range of tastes...
including bitter, sweet,
and oral irritants such
as capsaicin in
chili pepper

Genetic Engineering
Genetic Engineering
the application
of molecular
genetics for a
practical purpose.
Recombinant DNA
is a combination of
DNA from two or
more sources.
One of the best applications
of recombinant DNA today
is the production of insulin.
The human gene for
insulin production
is isolated from a
human cell.
The human gene is
then inserted into
bacteria DNA.
The recombinant DNA
is inserted into a
bacterial cell.
When the bacteria cell
reproduces, all of its
offspring will have
the human gene.
Eventually, Trillions of
bacteria cells are
producing human insulin.

The nucleus
(DNA) from a

inserted into

egg cell.
A structure
similar to
a fertilized
egg cell is
produced.
The cell begins
to divide and
produce an embryo.
Eventually producing
a complete organism.
