Lesson: Molecular Technologies Biology

In this lesson, we will learn how to outline the processes of gene machines and DNA hybridization and recall some applications of these molecular technologies.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

outline how gene machines can be used to produce desired sections of DNA,
describe how strands of DNA can be hybridized,
describe the advantages and applications of molecular technology.

Lesson Worksheet

Q1:

DNA from different sources can be combined, or hybridized, in a series of steps. In this process, how are the hydrogen bonds between the two strands of DNA broken?

Q2:

In the process used by gene machines, oligonucleotides are formed. What is an oligonucleotide?

Q3:

DNA from different sources can be combined, or hybridized, in a series of steps. Firstly, the double-stranded DNA is broken into single strands. After that, how are the single strands of DNA from different organisms annealed to each other?
