     +  Insulin is a example of transgenic bacteria. It is a hormone made by the pancreas and helps the body store and use glucose.
    + Recombinant DNA is a technology scientists developed that made it possible to insert the human gene of the bacteria. This micro-organism could now produce the protein encoded by the human gene, and now the recombinant bacteria uses the gene to begin producing human insulin.

They are mainly used for lab research like the study of diseases and being potential source for organ transfer. However. they could also be used for improving the food supply or human health. Despite these good things that could help, there are some cons. While they could help the food supply, they could also be inedible and dangerous for human consumption. These animals could also have major health issues, which would make them suffer a great deal or cause someone's wallet to suffer.

Some examples are cloned sheep(to learn more about cloning), glow in the dark mice and cats(for fun), silk spinning goats(to get spider silk in bigger amounts and quicker than the average spider), less gassy cows(to take less of the gas out of the atmosphere, decreasing global warming), allergy free milk(for people allergic to regular milk), and super muscular pigs(for fun).

---------------------------------
Genetically modified bacteria were the first organisms to be modified in a laboratory due to simple genetics. They are now used for a variety of reasons. People usually take medicines to get rid of problems with bacteria. Now, a different approach,turning genetically modified bacteria into medicines is starting to trend. Some examples of transgenic bacteria is growth hormones, Insulin, cleaning up oil spills. They also can be used to produce enzymes, amino acids, flavorings, and other compounds used in food production. They are starting to get more and more popular in the world, and in the future you will most likely see more and more of Transgenic Bacteria otherwise known as Modified Bacteria.

Pros- They are used in clinical trial research. They can be organ donors in the future.They can be used to keep infants healthy.
Cons-The use of transgenic animals is unethical.They can be unsafe for human consumption.They are added expense to the government.https://healthresearchfunding.org/transgenic-animals-pros-cons/]]> 2019-04-10 15:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/hollie_carter/genetics4th/wish/350420725 Brooke- Plants https://padlet.com/hollie_carter/genetics4th/wish/350420770 Transgenic plants have been engineered to be:

  • Scientist produce most transgenic animals in labs for biology research. They're used to study diseases, improve food supplies, improve human health, and be potential sources of organs for transplants.
Transgenic Animals can be defined as animals in which new or altered genes have been experimentally inserted into their genome by genetic engineering techniques.
  • The first successful production of transgenic mammals by the microinjection of genetically engineered constructs into a mouse was carried out over 20 years ago
Certain proteins, such as hormones and cytokines, have a negative effect on the lactation and health of TAs. This makes maintenance of the transgenic herd problematic. 
  • At the moment, the FDA is nearing approval for salmon which expresses the growth hormone for commercial use
The economic impact in the case of transgenic salmon is associated with an increase in growth, which significantly reduces the cost of cultivation. Therefore, it can be assumed that in the near future permission for the commercial application of various TAs will be obtained. 
  • These TAs can be used to achieve such important things as 1) producing modified milk containing human RPs; 2) altering the composition of milk to increase efficiency in dairy products production; 3) improving the characteristics of farm animals (fast growth, recycling); and 4) improving the resistance of farm animals to bacterial, viral, and prion infections. I'm lactose intolerant anyway.

These organisms are now used for several purposes and they are a major role in medicine.
Food- Bacteria have been used in the production of food for a long time, and specific strains have been developed and selected for that work on an industrial scale. They can be used to produce enzymes, amino acids, flavorings, and other compounds used in food production.
Health-With greater understanding of the role that the microbiome plays in human health, there is the potential to treat diseases by genetically altering the bacteria to, themselves, be therapeutic agents. Ideas include altering gut bacteria so they destroy harmful bacteria, or using bacteria to replace or increase deficient enzymes or proteins.]]> 2019-04-10 15:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/hollie_carter/genetics4th/wish/350421062 Trenton Mckenzie trenton_mckenzie https://padlet.com/hollie_carter/genetics4th/wish/350421176 Transgenic Animals-They can be used for medicine and research. Being a transgenic animal means you have DNA from another organism. They are used to study diseases, improve food supply, and improve human health. They could be used for future organ transplants also. They have other names such as "knockout animals" or "mutated animals." Skeletal genetics could completely reshape an animal to be more reproductive. But Skeletal genetics could also cause bone disorders that could be painful or life threatening to an animal. Scientist can implement genes that may fix a disorder or make an animal more healthy.]]> 2019-04-10 15:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hollie_carter/genetics4th/wish/350421176 Kenly Wiggins - Bacteria https://padlet.com/hollie_carter/genetics4th/wish/350421282 - genetically modified bacteria were the first organisms to be modified in the laboratory, due to their simple genetics.

Transgenic plants are plants into which one or more genes from another species have been introduced into the genome, using genetic engineering processes. Techniques include the biolistic method—in which a heavy metal is coated with plasmid DNA is shot into cells—and Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation.
