- genetic engineering and bacteria
- improving feature of recipient organism
- inserting gene coding for resistance to herbicide in plants so that farmers can use herbicides
- interting growth controll gene into livestock to increase muscle production
- engineering organisms to synthesise useful products
- goats with silk gene to produce silk milk
- insulin production by bacteria to be used for humans with diabetes
- golden rice-introducing beta carotein gene into normal rice crops
- source of vit a
- identified gene gut by restriction endonuclease and sealed with DNA ligase
- vectors are often plasmids-circular DNA
- Transgenic-organisms that contain DNA from one or more othe organisms from different species
- plasmids can be swapped between bacterial organisms of different species thus spreading resistance to antibiotics
- improving feature of recipient organism
