Genetic Engineering :




"Isolate desired gene

2 .


Gene isincorporated into a plasmid vector using more restriction endonuclease and DNA ligase
↳ Forms recombinant DNA

Can also be second bioluminescence into which desired spliced
gene ie
marker
given a .
the
gene is

↳ pioluminescence is no
longer expressed so the recombinant plasmid can be identified
.
3
Plasmids are incorporated into the bacteria
by :




-Heating to increase membrane
permeability
-Electroporation to make membranes very porous
Electrofusion :


·

Electrocurrents are applied to two cells
causing them to fuse causing hybrid polyploid
/ cels

↳ Not successful in animal cens , but can be used to produce monoclonal antibodies .




Engineering plants The desired gene :

is incorporated into a tumor and is carried into the DNA

↳ forms caurs/mass of GM cas which can be
grown into plants
a new




Pest Resistance:
Increased yield and economic benefits Cons May damage undesired species/cause resistance
