- Genetic Modification and Cloning
- Human insulin
- used for people suffering fro diabeties
- GMO of bacteria cells mixed with genes from the donor cultured in a fermenter
- Insulin can be extracted from animals because of the identical insulin
- Transgenic
- Transfer of genetic material from one species to a different species
- Micropropagation
- Plant chosen to be cloned get explants taken from the tips of stems and side shoots
- Explants are sterilised
- Grown in vitro (nutrient medium) - contains growth hormone
- Cells in explants divide and grow - small plants form
- Small plants taken out of the medium and planted into soil or greenhouses
- Human insulin
