Nature or Nurture?

Inherited traits (hereditary) are present in a person since the time of his birth and are passed on from one generation to another

A trait, as related to genetics, is a specific characteristic of an individual. Traits can be determined by genes, environmental factors or by a combination of both

Same as both parents

Different from both parents

Intermediate between parents

Traits same as just “male parent”

Traits same as just “female parent”

Genetics or Environment?

Acquired traits (non-hereditary) are the ones that a person develops during his lifetime

Biotechnology is a broad term that applies to all practical uses of living organisms—anything from microorganisms used in the fermentation of beer to the most sophisticated application of gene therapy

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the modification and manipulation of an organism's genes using technology. Examples:

A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques

23

A genetically modified organism contains DNA that has been altered using genetic engineering. Genetically modified animals are mainly used for research purposes, while genetically modified plants are common in today’s food supply.

CRISPR Chimeras

Introduction: Since ROSALIND FRANKLIN discovered the structure of DNA in the 1950s, scientists have spent decades creating genetic technology that can be used to solve many problems that plague society. Recently, genetic scientists discovered a way to edit ANY piece of DNA in ANY organism. This technology is referred to as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats). CRISPR has the ability to change the way we think about genetic modification. Today, you are going to model how CRISPR is used to cut and paste DNA to specifically change the DNA of an organism. One application of CRISPR is to create a Chimera. Chimeras result when a single organism contains the DNA of another. Until recently, Chimeras were only found in Greek mythology, described as a fire-breathing female monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. While this is an exaggerated example, you will soon see it is not far from possible.

Directions:

1. Choose ONE organism and it’s DNA sequence.

2. Choose 1-3 traits that you would like to change about your organism. Remember, changing a trait can help OR hurt your organism. Choose carefully and be able to give a reason you want to make this switch.

2. Use the CRISPR to cut the DNA out of the organism.

3. Now you must choose what you want to replace it with. Look at the list of traits and what they do for the organism they belong to. Think about how they may help or hurt your organism if they are added.

4. Use CRISPR again to cut out the segments of DNA you want to add to your organism.

5. Use an enzyme (a.k.a tape) to put your new segments of DNA into your organism.

6. Build your newly created Chimera. Be sure that the traits of your chimera match the DNA strand.

1. My organism:

2. Traits I am changing:

3. Why must I carefully cut the DNA on the line?

4. What are the consequences if I cut out an extra base pair?

5. Describe your Chimera. What advantages or disadvantages does your newly created organism have in its natural environment?
