Question 6

genetic engineering allows a species to

Answer 6

make a protein that’s normally made by another species

Question 7

genetic engineering stage 1

Answer 7

identify section of DNA that contains the required gene from a source chromosome

Question 8

genetic engineering stage 2

Answer 8

remove section of DNA that contains the required gene from a source chromosome

Question 9

genetic engineering stage 3
