2.  Gk word
◦ Genea
 Breed, kind
◦ Genesis
 Descent, origin
 Science that deals with the interaction of the
genes in producing similarities and
differences between individual related by
descent

3.  Art and science that is concerned with the
practical application of scientific knowledge
 Design
 Constructions
 Operations of
rocks, bridges, harbors, buildings

4.  Human design into the formation of new genetic
combination in order to produce desired results.
 Includes:
◦ Genetic testing
◦ Prenatal diagnosis
◦ Genetic screening
◦ Genetic control
◦ In vitro fertilization
◦ Embryo transfer
◦ Cloning
◦ Sperm and zygote banking
◦ Sex selection
◦ Surogacy
◦ Organic transplant

6.  Chromosomal analysis for detecting
genetically-caused diseases.
◦ Taysach’s disease
◦ PKU
 Purpose is purely eugenic

7.  Amniocentesis
◦ Detect malformation as early as 5th month or 16th
week of pregnancy and onwards
 Fetoscope
 Ultrasound

8.  With Genetic Testing
 Screen, choose or select
 Screening
◦ CF
◦ Hemophilia
◦ Sickle cell anemia
◦ PKU
 Purpose is to obtain information for the
treatment and to help the parents to make
responsible decisions in childbearing
◦ Sterilization, contraception

9.  Directed modification of
the gene complement of
a living organism by
such techniques as
altering the
DNA, substituting
genetic material by
means of a
virus, transplanting
whole
nuclei, transplanting cell
hybrids, etc.

11.  An assisted reproductive technique that
includes the direct handling and manipulation
of oocytes and sperm to achieve fertilization
in vitro.

12.  The transfer of mammalian embryos from an
in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable
host to improve pregnancy or gestational
outcome in human or animal. In human
fertility treatment programs, preimplantation
embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the
blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine
cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION
IN VITRO.

13. A surrogate mother is a
woman who carries a
child for someone
else, usually an
infertile couple.

18.  Organs, tissues, or cells taken from the body
for grafting into another area of the same
body or into another individual
 Types
◦ Autograft
◦ Heterograft
◦ homograft
◦ isograft

20.  The process of making a
clone, a genetically identical
copy. Cloning can refer to
the technique of producing a
genetically identical copy of
an organism by replacing the
nucleus of an unfertilized
ovum with the nucleus of a
body cell from the organism.
 The first adult mammal
cloned was Dolly the Sheep
in 1997.
