a. Background
In this lab we are going to use the procedure known as genetic transformation. A gene is a piece of DNA that gives instructions for a protein, and a protein gives an organism a trait. Genetic transformation means the change caused by genes. It is done by the insertion of a gene into an organism in order to alter the original trait of the organism. This technique can be used in the agricultural industry, bioremediation, mediine, and other aspects of biotechnology. The gene that we will be using codes for Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP). Bioiluminescent jellyfish are the real source for this gene. The Proten causes jellyfish to glow in the dark with a bright green color.
