genetic engineering

Question 1

give an example of genetic engineering

Answer 1

insulin producing bacteria to be harvested to treat people with diabetes

genetically modified crops to get more yield of nutritional value e.g golden rice which produces vitamin A

modified crops to resist bacteria

Question 2

what is the process of genetic engineering

Answer 2

1. Desired gene is Cut from another organism’s DNA using enzyme
2. Gene inserted into a vector e.g. bacteria plasmid or virus
3. Vector inserts gene into cells of another organism early fin development
4. Organism develops with desired characteristic (must be done in the early stages of development e.g egg being fertilized to make sure that the it grows and it is in every cell in the body)
