STAGES OF GENETIC ENGINEERING
----------------------------------------
First we will ______ the _____ we want to _____?
identify the gene we want to transfer
10 of 23
Then we will use ______ to ______ the gene?
use enzymes to isolate the gene
11 of 23
Then we transfer the gene into?
a small circle of DNA
plasmid
12 of 23
Where has the plasmid come from?
bacteria
13 of 23
You could also use?
a virus
14 of 23
The virus and plasmid would be considered?
vectors
15 of 23
The desired gene is then ______ into the _____ of the _____ organism via the ____?
then transferred into the cells of the target organism via the vector
16 of 23
When do we transfer the gene?
in the early stages of the organisms development
17 of 23
This makes sure that all?
the cells receive the transferred gene
