Traditional biotechnology and genetic engeneering
Traditional biotechnology (traditional selection and breeding techniques-production of organisms with more desirable charachteristics –via mutations and recombinations of existing genes between genotypes; neer relationships industrial use of living organisms to produce foods,drugs
or other products small assortiment of genes
Genetic engeneering – technic enable the identification of many genes which confer desirable charachteristics and transfer them to organisms which did not posess them before; single-celled organisms with modified DNA are used to produce different products genes can be transfered, multiplied,retained or expressed in new combination that not exist in a nature; genes can be transfered also between different species

Biotechnology in service of mankind
Traditional selection and breeding techniques as fermentation processes, used live organisms such as yeast and bacteria for production of bread, cheese, yoghourt, beer, vine etc.
More extensive use of GMO at present leeds to intensive production of useful substances such as insuline (1979), growth hormone or the blood clotting factor. Human genes encoding for these products have been successfully transfered into the DNA of microorganisms. This allows large scale production of these substances for medical use in so called “bioreactors”.

What are the GMO?
Are organisms in which genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and / or natural recombination
In principle, genes from any species could be inserted into any other species

GMO - history
1983 – first plant transformation (insertion of bacterial gene in tobacco plant)
1986 – first field experiment with transgenes plant (tobacco plant)
1992 – first economic production of transgene plant (virus resistant tobacco plant, China)
1994 – first economic (market) production of transgene plant for food (tomato with slow decrease of softening USA)

Gentic engeneering methodes
Elementary methodes for bacteria genes developed in early 60’s
Other methodes for different organisms in 80’s
Transformation = insert of naked DNA in form of plasmides using “gene gun” or with help of vectors – bacterial plasmides
![Page 9: Gmo by shane velasco](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5579774cd8b42a5f438b45ef/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
TECHNOLOGY OF RECOMBINATION
1. Isolation of DNA molecule from donor organism, cut with enzymes (restriction endonucleases) and join with other DNA from s.c. clone carrier (vector) – new recombinant DNA
2. New DNA is inserted in to a host cell (plant or bacterial) =TRANSFORMATION; the foreign DNA becomes a permanent feature of the host, being replicated and passed on to daughter cells along with the rest of its DNA
3. Host cells which already have inserted DNA are separated from other cells which are not yet transformed

Disadvantages, risks
Gene expression –Mendel’ s law of independent assortiment - every gene determinate one charachteristics
– more genes determines one characteristics or more genes determine more characteristics =>changing one gene may influence in change of more features
Gene dynamics – during the lifetime of the cell expression of genes may change –one period are active some genes and second period another genes– how to determine exactely expression of a new inserted gene?
![Page 19: Gmo by shane velasco](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5579774cd8b42a5f438b45ef/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Risks (2.)Coincidence of genes of different organisms
exl: plants, animals, people eating plants-plants are developed defense against herbivores- toxines
In thousands of years genetically supported nevtralisations for undesirable vegetable products developed (in our saliva) Evolution – selection are always linked with food – too sensitive persons (food) dissapeared from populationNew food (exotic or GMO) – increase of alergyDigestion of proteins in intestinum – procese can stop in the level of undigested particles -> biotic effects???

Pollination transfere of pollen and genes by
insects even in the area of more km from field with GMO
usually inside the species rare between relative species very rare or periodical transfer
between different species (weed)
Risks (3.)

My Opinions
There are many potential problems with GMO's, but also many benefits. Some of the potential problems are:
crossing of the GMO's with other species causing unwanted genetic changes.
To prevent this, we then make non seed producing species, so farmers are foced to buy their seeds from big companies like Monsanto, which drives small farmers costs up too high. The benefits, however, are that we can feed the planet, which currently couldn't be done without GMO's.
![Page 28: Gmo by shane velasco](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5579774cd8b42a5f438b45ef/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Environment ImpactThe creation of GMOs can lead to negative environmental impacts which might not be foreseeable when the GMO is created.
For instance, an alteration to a certain plant might make it inedible or harmful to another organism such as an insect that relies on it for food.
In some cases this can be a benefit, to protect the plant against pests, but it may also be a drawback if it harms organisms that are desirable or upsets the balance of the food chain.
According to the Human Genome Project Information website, GMOs can result in unintended transfer of genes through cross-pollination, leading to unknown effects on other organisms.
![Page 29: Gmo by shane velasco](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5579774cd8b42a5f438b45ef/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
HealthAnother danger of GMOs is their potential to harm human health.
Altering the genetic makeup of an organism could potentially introduce new allergenic properties to it. Some plants, such as peanuts, have powerful allergens that can kill humans. If a gene of a peanut were used to enhance a more common food crop, such as corn, it might introduce a similar allergen which could have a severe health impact
![Page 30: Gmo by shane velasco](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062303/5579774cd8b42a5f438b45ef/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
EconomicsSince GMOs have the potential to replace standard crops, the companies that produce them and the farmers who are able to use them stand to profit greatly.
This could reduce the amount of competition between farmers and give the companies that create GMOs great power in the agricultural industry. Companies may even try to patent the genetic code of GMOs that they produce.
This could create situations where a corporation essentially owns exclusive rights to produce and sell a certain organism. Technologically advanced countries would likely benefit the most economically from increasing GMO production. The Human Genome Project Information website states that GMOs may lead to increasing dependence on industrialized nations by developing countries.

EthicsCritics of GMOs sometimes make arguments against genetic engineering on ethical grounds.
For instance, some people feel it is unnatural or wrong to introduce the genes of animals into plants or from one plant to another, which may be likened to "playing God." In addition, animals used in genetic engineering procedures may be subjected to pain and stress.
