ka 5 - genetic engineering

• what is genetic engineering?

  transfer of gene/genetic information from protein. one cell to another (host)
• stage 1 of genetic engineering

  Identify the section of DNA that contains the required gene from source chromoso
• stage 2 of genetic engineering

  EXTRACT the PLASMID from the bacterial cell and “cut open” using special enzyme
• stage 3 of genetic engineering

  EXTRACT required gene from the human chromosome using special enzymes
• stage 4 of genetic engineering

  INSERT required gene into bacterial plasmid and seal with enzymes
• stage 5 of genetic engineering

  Insert the plasmid into a ‘host’ bacterial cell
• stage 6 of genetic engineering

  GMO bacteria cell reproduces
