Q

What are the steps of genetic engineering there are 6

A

1) The section of dna that contains the required genes (located in chromosome) is removed by an enzyme called the baddy endonucleus
2)The plasmid is extracted from the bacteria cell by using the same enzyme
3)The human gene is inserted into the plasmid of the bacteria cell using ligas
4)The genitaclly modified plasmid is instretd into the host bacteria cell.
5)the bacteria cell is cultured (multiplied) to produce hormones like insulin.Now the bacteria cells are officially GENETICALLY MODIFIED.
6)if the hormone is for human then the insulin will be separated and purified .
