N5 biology 3 🧬(Genetic Engineering)

• What is the process mentioned that can be used to get the second?

  It refers to a method involving plasmids in genetic engineering.
• Why are plasmids used in genetic engineering?


  Because they can carry genes into bacterial cells.
• What is a plasmid?


  A plasmid is a small, circular piece of DNA used in genetic engineering.
• What are the uses of plasmids in genetic engineering?


  • Gene cloning
  • Production of insulin
  • Production of human growth factor VIII
  • Making cheese
  • Brewing yeast
  • Production of enzymes
• What is one medical application of plasmids in genetic engineering?


  Production of insulin.
• What is another application of plasmids in genetic engineering besides insulin?


  Production of human growth factor VIII.
• How can plasmids be used in the food industry?


  They can be used to make cheese and brewing yeast.
• What is one of the roles of plasmids in enzyme production?


  They are used to produce various enzymes.
• What are the advantages of using plasmids in genetic engineering?


  • Easy to manipulate
  • Can replicate independently
  • Can carry foreign DNA
  • Useful for gene expression
• Recombinant DNA is formed when two or more different pieces of DNA are combined artificially, creating new combinations of genetic material that do not occur naturally.
• The process of genetic engineering involves the use of recombinant DNA technology to transfer genes from one organism into another.
• The process of combining genes from different organisms is called genetic engineering.
• In genetic engineering, scientists use restriction endonucleases (restriction enzymes) to cut out specific sections of DNA.
• Restriction endonucleases recognize short sequences of nucleotides on the DNA molecule and cleave them at those sites.
• Restriction endonucleases are enzymes that break down DNA at specific sites.
• In genetic engineering, scientists isolate specific genes from an organism and insert them into another organism's genome.
