GENETIC ENJINEERING Flashcards
1
Q
what is genetic enjineering
A
The process of changing the structure of a particular gene
moving DNA from one organisim to another
2
Q
what is the name of an organisim reciving DNA
A
an organisim receving the DNA is said to be genetically modified
3
Q
what is the genotype?
A
a combination of genes to result in an organisms change in physical appearance (phenotype)
4
Q
state the stages of genetic engineering
A
1.DNA containing gene for insulin production is located
2.specific enzyme used to cut required gene from human chromosone
- plasmid is removed from the bacterial cell
4.DNA of the plasmid is cut using an enzyme
5.human insulin gene inserted into plasmid
- Plasmid is then put into the host bacterium cell
