Genetic Engineering is…
…the transfer of Genetic Information from one cell to another
In stage 1 of genetic engineering, the required gene is
IDENTIFIED from a section of DNA.
After the gene has been EXTRACTED, it can be
INSERTED into the plasmid
Plasmids are found in
Bacterial cells
Host bacterial cells can produce a
Genetically modified organism
Genetic engineering requires
enzymes
Examples of useful proteins produced by genetic engineering:
Insulin & Human Growth Hormone
