EOU Exam on Thursday, May 1st
Learning Target🎯
Learning Target🎯
I can explain how scientists use gene splicing to change an organism’s DNA and describe real-world examples of genetic engineering, such as bacteria making insulin or goats producing spider silk.
Success Criteria ✅
Success Criteria ✅
🔬 Describe the process of gene splicing using correct vocabulary (gene, plasmid, restriction enzyme, recombinant DNA).
🧫 Explain how bacteria can be genetically engineered to make human insulin.
🐐 Explain how goats have been modified to produce spider silk in their milk.
⚖️ Synthesize at least one benefit and one potential risk or ethical concern of using genetic engineering in living organisms.
🔍 Compare and contrast gene splicing with other genetic technologies, such as selective breeding, cloning, or CRISPR, identifying key similarities and differences.
Standards:
Standards:
P-12 NYSSLS - HS-LS3-2
Make and defend a claim based on evidence that inheritable genetic variations may result from: (1) new genetic combinations through meiosis, (2) viable errors occurring during replication, (3) mutations caused by environmental factors and/or (4) genetic engineering.

Part #1
Warm-Up
Part 2:
Common Thread
Connections
Directions: Watch the video. As it is playing, keep an ear out for the word you were assigned.
Gene • Plasmid • Bacterial DNA • Enzyme • DNA • Double Helix • GAATTC • Cuts • Sticky end • Inserted • DNA Ligase • Stitched • Genetically Engineered Bacteria • Culture medium • Protein • Product
Task:
1) Find someone with a vocab word that relates to yours.
2) Create ONE (1) conjunction to show the relation between the two pieces of vocabulary:
Because - But and So
Example:
Plasmids are related to gene splicing because.....
Plasmids are related to gene splicing but......
Plasmids are related to gene splicing so....

Choral - Choral
Vocabulary
1) Genetic engineering – Inserting a segment of DNA from one organism’s cell into the DNA of another organism’s cell. (gene splicing)
2) Enzymes:
Proteins that cut DNA so genes can be inserted by other enzymes.
3) Recombinant DNA - Chromosome with DNA that is inserted
