1. GENETIC ENGINEERING

2. Genetic engineering includes a set of techniques that allow us to manipulate DNA.
Developped from the 1970s thanks to the discovery of restriction enzymes and PCR (Polimerase Chain Reaction).

3. Recombinant DNA process
Donator: organism that provides with the fragment of DNA that we will introduce in the host.
Host: Cell that will be genetically modified
Restriction enzymes: cut fragments of DNA by determined sequences.
DNA ligase enzymes: join together fragments using sticky ends.
Vector: organism that is used as a vehicle for the DNA to enter the cell. Plasmids and viruses.

4. Plasmids
Circular piece of DNA found in bacteria that serve us as a vehicle to insert DNA into a celll.
