What are the 6 stages of Genetic Engineering?
1- gene is located on the human cell.
2- gene is removed from the chromosome using enzymes!
3- plasmid removes from bacterial cell and cut open
4- gene is inserted into plasmid.
5- Plasmid is inserted into bacterial cell to create a GM organism.
6- Bacterial Cells multiply and produce product
