Bacterial infections are treated using __________. Examples of these treatments include:
Amoxycillin, Penicillin, and Erythromycin

Typically study: genetic modification of organisms to make
better organisms, medicines, etc Bioinformatics (storing and retrieving of
biological data) Genomics (study of genes and how they
function)
Results of studies have included:Decline in viral diseases, hardier crops, increase in agricultural production (more food)
Biotechnologists

Biotechnologists have modified crops to
produce more food by increasing leaf size to increase the intake of energy from the ______, there for increasing the amount of energy needed to make more food.
Biotechnologists have modified crops to resist infection from viruses that can damage/destroy food sources
Agriculture

Biotechnologists have created
fertilizers that increase the amount of nutrients in soil
Biotechnologists have created crops that are resistant to specific insects, reducing the need for insecticides
Agriculture cont’d

Increasing our use and production of tools
that use biotechnology could add new jobs and increase revenue to the state of NC
Biotechnologists in NC are currently studying genomics, the study of genes and how they function
Having future goals in the area of biotechnology will create a large economic benefit to NC
Biotechnology in North Carolina

GM is the process of changing an
organisms DNA to make it better
Gene splicing(gene therapy) is an example of GM
Genetic Mofidication

Crossbreeding is a process where
the DNA of two different organisms is combined to create a new organism
Example: Plum and Apricot = Pluot
Crossbreeding

Cloning is a process by which an organism is created that has the exact same genes as its “parent”. The Clone is created using a body cell.
Cloning has ethical concerns for some people

Scientists use extracted DNA segments to link suspects to crimes. Example:
Forensic Testing

Early testing of infants for genetic
diseases Gene therapy Less expensive food, greater
quantity Medicines Creation of “environmental
cleaners”
