Gene Drives and Thoughts by Nicola Wells https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr Made with hard work and practice en-us 2018-06-11 01:20:29 UTC 2024-03-07 14:39:34 UTC hello@padlet.com GENE DRIVE!!!!!!! https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519377 A gene drive is a technology that spreads a particular suite of genes throughout the population. The techniques that this technology uses involves adding, deleting, disrupting, or modifying genes.]]> 2018-06-11 01:28:21 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519377 Gene Drive https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519391 Gene drives are attached to chosen genes to make sure that they are inherited through offspring. Genes have different versions of itself and two copies will be placed in the organism. Gene drives help insure that all offspring inherit the specific gene where without it only half of the offspring will inherit it. ]]> 2018-06-11 01:28:25 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519391 Gene drive (Sharon) https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519408 What is a gene drive ? 
In my own words a gene drive is a genetic engineering device or technology in which can spread a certain pair of genes throughout the population. (Which would increased the number of offsprings with the trait). “Spread particular genomic alterations through targeted species” (enhancement etc.. )

As shown in the picture above when compared to normal inheritance with gene drive  there was more flies or offsprings with the trait.

This allows the chances of a particular trait that passes from parent to off spring from 50/50 percent to nearly 100 percent. ]]> 2018-06-11 01:30:39 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519641 Gene Drive https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519899 2018-06-11 01:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266519899 Gene drive https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266520002 It is a genetic engineering technology that is used by genetic engineers to ensure that their desired gene is passed on through the population throughout time. It is attached to the gene together with instructions to make Cas 9 and where in the chromosome to cut and insert the desired gene. The cas 9 cuts out the gene of the mate's chromosome and inserts the desired gene into the embryo.  ]]> 2018-06-11 01:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266520002 Kea https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266520886 Kea is a large species found in the parrot family and is found in the forested and alpine regions.

An example of an endangered specie is a North Island Kokako. The Kokako breeding population had increased Mapara Forest after four aerial 1080 operations in 80 years. Their pests are possums, rats and stoats. ]]> 2018-06-11 01:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266520990 Definition https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266521151 Google: Guardianship or management.

Biology: the exercise of guardianship by the tangata whenua of an area in accordance with tikanga Maori. 

Tikanga Maori is the Maori who believe they are guarding our Taonga (an object or natural resource that is high prized) such as native species and the environment. ]]> 2018-06-11 01:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266521151 What is 1080 posion https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266521225 2018-06-11 01:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266521225 https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266521346 Current forms of pest control used against pest in NZ is 1080 poison. ]]> 2018-06-11 01:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266521346 :) https://padlet.com/Miss_Wells/cwi78n9qtnsr/wish/266521557 1080 is a type of poison formulated to be very toxic. 1080 in scientific terms is known to be Sodium Monofluoroacetate. 

- The distribution of 1080 poison in New Zealand is done in two different ways, Aerial and Ground.

- This poison is made to lure predators  into consuming it.
