GENETIC ENGINEERING FORUM
 During this unit you will be:
 Applying your knowledge of DNA and protein synthesis
to a new concept.
 Applying your knowledge of bacteria and viruses to a
new concept.
 Considering the ethical ramifications of genetic
engineering.
 Identifying different viewpoints in regards to GE.
 Asking relevant questions.
 Answering those questions intelligently.
 Honing your research skills.
GENETIC ENGINEERING FORUM
 Research Day i: (TODAY)
 Spend the rest of the period looking for a topic that
interests you. You may want to try using these key
words:
 Bioremediation
 Genetically modified organism (GMO)
 Genetically engineered microorganism (GEM)
 GMO + tooth decay
 Ice minus bacteria
 Bacteria + growth hormone
 Bacteria + clotting factor
 Genentech
