Define genetic engineering as changing

the genetic material of an organism by
removing, changing or inserting
individual genes
State examples of genetic engineering:
- the insertion of human genes
into bacteria to produce human insulin
- the insertion of genes into crop
plants to confer resistance to herbicides
- the insertion of genes into crop
plants to confer resistance to insect
pests
- the insertion of genes into crop
plants to provide additional vitamins
Outline genetic engineering using
bacterial production of a human
protein as an example, limited to:
– isolation of the DNA making up
a human gene using restriction
enzymes, forming sticky ends
– cutting of bacterial plasmid
DNA with the same restriction
enzymes, forming
complementary sticky ends

– insertion of human DNA into

bacterial plasmid DNA using DNA
ligase to form a recombinant plasmid
– insertion of plasmid into
bacteria (specific detail is not required)
– replication of bacteria
containing recombinant plasmids
which make human
protein as they express the gene

Discuss the advantages and

disadvantages of genetically modifying
crops, such as soya, maize and rice
