Containment genetic

Exon (Section 28.4) A section of DNA that contains genetic information. 

The Competent Authorities are allowed a maximum of 60 days to review the data, or 90 days in the case of trials involving medicinal products for gene therapy, somatic cell therapy (including xenogeneic cell therapy), and all medicinal products containing genetically modified organisms. Such trials require written authorisation from the Competent Authority as distinct from other types of product where the authorities may just notify the sponsor of the acceptability (no-objection) of the application. If issues are raised, the sponsor may amend the application once, with a consequent extension to the allowed review period. 

Leaf discs are floated on a suspension of Agrobacterium ceWs that contain genetically engineered Ti-plasmids. The bacterium infects cells around the edges of the discs, and the T-DNA is transferred to the chromosomes of the infected cells.

Cells can be divided into germ cells and somatic cells. Germ cells are reproductive cells, for example, ova or sperm. Germ cells contain genetic characteristics that are passed on to the next generation. Somatic cells do not contribute their genes to future generations they are the tissue cells such as nerve cells and muscle cells.

A limitation of this type of detection is that cell viability and growth is essential for a positive result. Resting, injured, or dead cells (which still contain genetically modified nucleic acids) would remain undetected.

Many bacterial cells contain self-replicating, extrachromosomal DNA molecules called plasmids. This form of DNA is closed circular, double-stranded, and much smaller than chromosomal DNA its molecular weight ranges from 2 X 106 to 20 X 106, which corresponds to between 3000 and 30,000 base pairs. Bacterial plasmids normally contain genetic information for the translation of proteins that confer a specialized and sometimes protective characteristic (phenotype) on the organism. Examples of these characteristics are enzyme systems necessary for the production of antibiotics, enzymes that degrade antibiotics, and enzymes for the production of toxins. Plasmids are replicated in the cell by one of two possible modes. Stringent replicated plasmids are present in only a few copies and relaxed replicated plasmids are present in many copies, sometimes up to 200. In addition, some relaxed plasmids continue to be produced even after the antibiotic chloramphenicol is used to inhibit chromosomal DNA synthesis in the host cell. Under these conditions, many copies of the plasmid DNA may be produced (up to 2000 or 3000) and may accumulate to 30 to 40°/o of the total cellular DNA. 

Much of the chemistry of the cell is common to all living systems and is directed towards ensuring growth and cell multiplication, or at least the survival of the cell. Organisms also share various structural characteristics. They all contain genetic material (DNA), membranes (the boundary material between the cell and the environment), cytoplasm (small particulate materials, ribosomes and enzyme complexes), and cell walls or surfaces (complex structures external to the membrane). In addition, there are various distinct membrane-bound organelles in eukaryotic organisms which have specialised functions within the cell (Tables S.4, 5.5 and 5.6)(8-, 7). 

Substances that contribute to an appropriate diet fulfilling the physiological and behavioural needs of the species concerned and do not contain genetically engineered/modified organisms and products thereof and are primarily of plant, mineral or animal origin.

Prior to cell division, the nucleus replicates itself so that the two new cells will each contain genetic information. Several nuclear enzymes coordinate the replication of DNA. During cell division, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and equal copies of DNA and cytoplasm are partitioned into two daughter cells. After division, the nuclear envelopes reform in each daughter cell around its own copy of DNA. This fundamental sequence of events allows for the continuation of eukaryotic life during embryonic development and cellular regeneration throughout life.
