Microorganisms provide relatively simple systems for studying genetic phenomena and are thus useful tools in attempts to decipher the mechanisms underlying the genetics of all organisms Microorganisms are used for the isolation and duplication of specific genes from other organisms, a technique called molecular cloning. In molecular cloning, genes are manipulated and placed in a microorganism where they can be induced to Increase in number

Section 1 mutation and recombination Mutation is an inherited change in the base sequence of the nucleic acid comprising the genome of an organism. Mutation usually brings about only a very small amount of genetic change in a cell

Genetic recombination is the process by which genetic elements contained in two separate genomes are brought together in one unit. This mechanism may enable the organism to carry out some new function and result in adaptation to changing environments. Genetic recombination usually involves much larger changes Entire genes, sets of genes, or even whole chromosomes, are transferred between organisms

WORKING GLOSSARY Auxotroph an organism that has developed a nutritional requirement through mutation Cloning vector genetic element into which genes can be recombined and replicated Conjugation transfer of genes from one prokaryotic cell to another by a mechanism involving cell-to-cell contact and a plasmid Diploid a eukaryotic cell or organism containing two sets of chromosomes Electroporation the use of an electric pulse to induce cells to take up free dna Gene disruption use of genetic techniques to inactivate a gene by inserting within it a dNa fragment containing an easily selectable marker. The inserted fragment is called a cassette, and the process of insertion, cassette mutagenesis
