genetic engineering Flashcards
1
Q
Explain genetic engineering
A
Genetic information can be transferred from one cell to another by genetic engineering
2
Q
describe the stages of genetic engineering
A
1) identifying section of DNA that contains the required gene using source chromosome
2) extraction of required gene by an enzyme
3) extraction of plasmid from bacterial cell
4) insertion of required gene into bacterial plasmid
5) insertion of plasmid into HOST cell and production of GM organism
6) culture cell so it can multiply forming new cells with same genetic info
3
Q
example of genetically engineered products
A
insulin and growth hormone
