topic 6: selective breeding
Section 5: Use of biological resources b) Selective breeding, c) Genetic modification(genetic engineering), d) Cloning
5.10 understand that plants with desired characteristics can be developed by selective
breeding
5.11 understand that animals with desired characteristics can be developed by selective breeding
5.16 understand that the term ‘transgenic’ means the transfer of genetic material from one species to a different
species.
5.17 describe the process of micropropagation (tissue culture) in which small pieces of plants (explants) are grown in vitro using nutrient media.
5.18 understand how micropropagation can be used to produce commercial quantities of identical plants (clones) with desirable characteristics
5.19 describe the stages in the production of cloned mammals involving the introduction of a diploid nucleus from a mature cell into an enucleated egg cell, illustrated by Dolly the sheep
5.20 evaluate the potential for using cloned transgenic animals, for example to produce commercial quantities of human antibodies or organs for transplantation
