makimg insulin 1. Remove wanted insulin gene using enzymes
2. Take a plasmid from a bacteria (vector)
3. Open plasmid and insert insulin gene with DNA
ligase
4. Put plasmid back in bacteria
5. Incubate to allow bacteria to grow and make insulin.
GM Crops + Resistant to insects, viruses, fungi + Grow bigger, taste better, more nutritious+ Crops can be grown all over the World + Increased crop yield
+ Worries over long term effects
+ Reduced biodiversity
+ Could develop allergies to the food
Worries over long term effects - Reduced biodiversity
- Could develop allergies to the food
- Herbicide resistant gene could spread to weeds making superweeds
NATURAL SELECTION
Variation occurs naturally within a species due to mutations 2. Some organisms have adaptations increasing their chances of survival
3 These organisms are more likely to reproduce
4. The genes responsible for the adaptation are passed on to their offspring.
