Question 10

what is genetic engineering

Answer 10

the artificial manipulation or alteration of genes

Question 11

Steps involved in genetic engineering

Answer 11

I can learn to code easily
Isolation
Cutting
Ligation
Transformation
Cloning
Expression

Question 12

Isolation (genetic engineering)

Answer 12

The need to remove the human DNA and target gene from its chromosome and the plasmid DNA from the bacterium

Question 13

Cutting

Answer 13

Human chromosome and bacterial plasmid are cut using the same bacterial enzyme

Question 14

Ligation

Answer 14

Target gene is placed into DNA of plasmid because their ends are complimentary

Dna ligase is used to form strong bonds within the recombinant DNA

Question 15

Transformation (genetic engineering) n

Answer 15

The uptake of DNA into the cell

Question 16

cloning

Answer 16

Produces identical copies of the bacterium containing the recombinant DNA

Question 17

Expression

Answer 17

The organism with the recombinant DNA produces the desired product
