Review the Chapter Concepts list. Most of these are related to the discovery of DNA as the genetic material and the subsequent development of recombinant DNA technology. Write a brief essay that discusses the impact of recombinant DNA technology on genetics as we perceive the discipline today.
CHAPTER CONCEPTS
▪Genetics in the twenty-first century is built on a rich tradition of discovery and experimentation stretching from the ancient world through the nineteenth century to the present day.
▪Transmission genetics is the general process by which traits controlled by genes are transmitted through gametes from generation to generation.
▪Mutant strains can be used in genetic crosses to map the location and distance between genes on chromosomes.
▪The Watson-Crick model of DNA structure explains how genetic information is stored and expressed. This discovery is the foundation of molecular genetics.
▪Recombinant DNA technology revolutionized genetics, was the foundation for the Human Genome Project, and has generated new fields that combine genetics with information technology.
▪Biotechnology provides genetically modified organisms and their products that are used across a wide range of fields including agriculture, medicine, and industry.
▪Model organisms used in genetics research are now utilized in combination with recombinant DNA technology and genomics to study human diseases.
▪Genetic technology is developing faster than the policies, laws, and conventions that govern its use.

These studies can also lead to the development of therapeutics to prevent certain diseases. Recombinant DNA allows for the injection of DNA which codes for human proteins into bacterial genomes to use bacterial machinery to produce human products such as insulin or targeted ligands for human cell surface receptors.
Recombinant DNA also allows for the development of new diagnostic tools which can identify specific DNA/RNA/protein sequences in fast and efficient assays.
