Genetic engineering involves the transfer of genetic material from one organism to another
step 1 of genetic engineering
the gene is identified on the chromosome
step 2 of genetic engineering
the gene is removed from the chromosome using enzymes
step 3 of genetic engineering
a plasmid is removed from a bacterial cell
step 4 of genetic engineering
the plasmid is cut open using enzymes
step 5 of genetic engineering
the genes is sealed into the plasmid using enzymes
step 6 of genetic engineering
the modified plasmid is placed into a new host bacterial cell
step 3 of genetic engineering
the bacterial cell is left to divide, the product is then collected and purified
product of genetic engineering
Insulin a hormone to treat diabetes
Growth Factor a hormone to treat dwarfism
Testosterone a hormone to treat infertility in men or start puberty
Factor VIII a protein to treat haemophilia
