Question
Chapter 16, Problem 36E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term ‘genetically-modified foods’, and whether they are safe for human consumption, are to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Plants and animals can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. The DNA from one organism is transferred to another organism, thus producing recombinant DNA.
By carefully choosing the kind of DNA introduced, the characteristics of the organism can be engineered.
