What is the first step of genetic engeerint?
Identify the desired gene
What is the second step of genetic engineering?
Use a restriction enzyme to cut out the desired gene
What to do after step 2
Use a restriction enzyme to cut open the bacterial plasmid DNA
What is the fourth step of genetic engineering?
Use a ligase enzyme to insert the desired gene into the plasmid
What to do after the desired gene has been placed into the plasmid?
Place the plasmid into a bacterium
What happens to the plasmid once it’s been placed into a bacterium
Bacteria grows and divides producing desired gene
Explain the process of genetic engineering
Identify Use enzyme to cut gene Cut bacteria plasmid open Use enzyme to insert gene into plasmid Put plasmid in bacterium Bacteria grows and divides producing desired gene
