- Genetic engineering has advantages and risks:
- One advantage - organisms with desired features can be produced very quickly.
- One disadvantage - negative, harmful side effects.
- To carry out genetic engineering, four steps are taken:
- The desired characteristics are selected
- The genes responsible are identified and removed (isolation)
- The genes are inserted into other organisms.
- The organisms are allowed to reproduce (replication).
