Need to Know:
Biotechnology can involve the use of plasmids and viruses as vectors, bacterial enzymes, and yeasts.
Techniques include bacterial transformations, electroporation, and microinjection.
· Describe how particular genes can be selected using probes and removed using restriction enzymes.
· Describe how selected genes can be transferred between species.
· Describe how CRISPR can be used to edit and/or transfer genes.
Discuss the design of new proteins and their uses.
