Concept 4 Genetic Engineering

State the purpose of Genetic Engineering

• to transfer genetic information

• organisms are genetically modified in order to give them a combination of genes

what is the name of the structure found in bacterial cells into which genes can be inserted.

• ribosome

• plasmid

in genetic engineering what is used to cut the required gene out of a chromosome

• enzyme

• plasmids

which one is the correct sequence of events that occurs whilst making genetically modified bacteria.

• Extraction of required gene, Insertion of plasmid into bacterial cells, Growth of transformed bacterial cells

• Insertion of plasmid into bacterial cells, Growth of transformed bacterial cells, Extraction of required gene

• Growth of transformed bacterial cells, Insertion of plasmid into bacterial cells, Extraction of required gene

What does a bacterial cell that has received genetic information from another organism use its coded instructions to produce

• a gene

• new type of protein

• DNA

what is the second stage of genetic engineering

• plasmids are the removed from the bacterial cells

• a specific enzyme is used to extract the required gene from the human chromosome.

• The DNA of the plasmids is cut open with a specific enzyme

• The human insulin gene is inserted into each plasmid.
