1. Genetically modified organism
GMO
Genetically modified organism

2. What is GMO? It stand for Genetically Modified Organism
DEFINITION: use of modern biotechnology techniques to change the genes of an organism, such as a plant or animal.

3. Process of Genetic modification in Plants
Desired DNA is inserted into bacterial DNA
The bacteria replicates the desired DNA with its own DNA
Scientists use a restriction enzyme to cut the desired DNA from the bacterial DNA
Desired DNA is inserted into target organism
Target organism now has the desired DNA trait
The result is a Transgenic specie.
Trans = across and genic = Gene
Bill Nye

4. Examples of genetic engineering

5. Process of Genetic modification in Plants
Desired DNA (foreign) is inserted into a fertilized egg nucleus
Modified fertilized egg is inserted back into the female for gestation
Only small percentage survive
This is also a transgenic animal.
