Question

Which statement best explains why the process of genetic engineering is important to the scientific community?

Answer 1

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology.

Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism.

This method is also more specific in that a single trait can be added to a plant.

Step 1: DNA Extraction. The process of genetic engineering requires the successful completion of a series of five steps. ...

Step 2 : Gene Cloning. ...

Step 3 : Gene Design. ...

Step 4 : Transformation. ...

Step 5 : Backcross Breeding.

hence process of genetic engineering is important to the scientific community?

Answer 2

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic chromosomes or viral insertion. Selective breeding is not considered a form of genetic engineering.
