Chapter 21, Problem 1AC

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What specific parts of the plant should be altered by genetic engineering in corn and the changes that can be performed on the plants of corn by genetic engineering and why

Introduction:

Genetic engineering is a general term for any method which manipulates with the genetic material. Gene manipulation includes gene splicing, use of recombinant $\text{DNA}$.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What specific parts of the plant should be altered by genetic engineering in tomatoes and the changes that can be performed on the plants of corn by genetic engineering and why

Introduction:

The recombinant DNA technology or genetic engineering involves alteration of genotypes of organisms or plants for human benefits.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What specific parts of the plant should be altered by genetic engineering in wheat and the changes that can be performed on the plants of wheat by genetic engineering and why

Introduction:

Genetic engineering isolates DNA from donor organisms (human, plant, or microorganism) and inserts them into recipient organisms after genetic manipulation. The important tools used for manipulation of genotype and phenotypes are nucleic acids, restriction enzymes, vectors, reverse transcriptase, and mutagens.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To determine:

What specific parts of the plant should be altered by genetic engineering in avocados and the changes that can be performed on the plants of avocados by genetic engineering and why

Introduction:

Genetic engineering is the technology extensively used by the biotechnologist to make changes in plants and organism that directly help the humans and fulfill the human needs.
