Development should include major events in genetic engineering such as
- Mendel's discovery
- DNA modeling
- HGP
- gene therapy
- cloning
- DNA sequencing
- PCR (polymerase chain reaction)
- CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats).
Process/Skill Questions:
- What was Mendel's contribution to the field of genetic engineering?
- What is the importance of DNA modeling?
- What is the importance of gene therapy in modern medicine?
- Why is genetic engineering controversial?
- How have DNA sequencing techniques evolved?
