  • Genetic Engineering Steps: 1) Enzyme isolates the desired gene from organism. 2) A vector (often plasmid) The vector is split open by enzyme. 3) Gene inserted into vector
  • Genetic Engineering Steps: 4) The vector inserts NEW gene into cell. Which are transferred into the cells. 5) As it grows the cell develops with the new characteristic.
  • In Genetic Engineering a gene is introduced from another organism to give it a new characteristic.
  • Genetic Engineering is the process where the genome of a organism is modified.
  • Advantages of Genetic Engineering: To produce higher yield, crops to be resistant to disease
