Unit 1: Genetic Engineering From SQA CS

Question 1

A

Answer 1

Genetic information can be transferred from one cell to another by genetic
engineering. Stages of genetic engineering: identify section of DNA that contains
required gene from source chromosome; extract required gene; extract plasmid from
bacterial cell; insert required gene into bacterial plasmid; insert plasmid into host
bacterial cell to produce a genetically modified (GM) organism.
Use of enzymes in this process.
