Recombinant DNA and Genetic Engineering

Genetic Engineering

It is the process of using recombination DNA to alter the genetic makeup of an organism

Genetic Engineering

It involves the direct manipulation of one or more genes.

Genetic Engineering

It is the modification and manipulation of one or more genes

Universal DNA Code

All life uses the same DNA code to store information and create proteins

Recombinant DNA

It is formed mixing DNA two different sources.

alteration of genetic material

primary goal of genetic engineering

restriction enzyme

commonly used in genetic engineering to cut specific DNA sequence

restriction enzyme

used to cut the plasmid at specific sites; recognizes restriction site and cleave the DNA at particular locations

genetically modified organisms

living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially altered using genetic engineering techniques

transformation

the process of introducing foreign DNA into an organism’s genome in genetic engineering

to insert foreign genes into host organism

the purpose of creating a recombinant DNA

vectors

the role plasmids play in genetic engineering

plasmids

it serves as vectors, carrying the gene of interest into bacterial cells for replication

universal DNA code

the reason genetic engineering is possible for different species
