35. Chapter 12 Standardized Test Preparation Passage 1 Through genetic engineering, scientists are now able to duplicate one organism’s DNA and place a certain gene from the DNA into the cells of another species of plant or animal. This technology enables scientists to give plants and animals a new trait that can then be passed on to future generations. There are two methods to introduce new DNA into plant cells. Continued on the next slide

36. copyright cmassengale Chapter 12 Standardized Test Preparation Passage 1, continued In one method, DNA is first placed inside a special bacterium, which carries the DNA into the plant cell. In the second method, microscopic particles of metal are coated with the new DNA and fired into the plant cells with a device called a gene gun.

43. copyright cmassengale Chapter 12 Standardized Test Preparation Passage 2 The main function of leaves is photosynthesis, or the production of food. However, some leaves have functions other than photosynthesis. For example, the leaves on a cactus plant are modified as spines. These spines discourage animals from eating the cactus. The leaves of another plant, the sundew, are modified to catch insects. Sundews live in areas with nitrogen- poor soil. They don’t get enough nitrogen from the soil to meet their needs. So, the plants use their modified leaves to catch insects. Then, the sundews digest the insects to get the nitrogen they need to survive.
