(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Two examples of transgenic plants that have been banned have to be found and have to be compared with the two that are allowed. The difference between those allowed and those rejected have to be discussed.

Concept Introduction:

Transgenic organisms are plants and animals whose genome contains genes from one or more other species. The inserted genes can come from species within the same or different kingdoms (for instance, bacteria to plants).

Gene and Genome:

DNA is a nucleic acid. The nucleic acid is a polymer of the nucleotides which are monomeric units. The sequence of bases of the nucleotides codes an amino acid. Such a sequence of bases is known as DNA codon. Once the amino acids are coded, a protein that is formed from the amino acids can be found. So, the DNA which codes the protein is known as Gene and the sum total of DNA is known as Genome.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The timeline of five events that were key to the rapid increase or subsequent levelling of transgenic crops has to be created.
