Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.54E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Three substances likely to be produced on a large scale by genetic engineering are to be listed and an important use of each one is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Incredible technology has made it possible to introduce the DNA segments from one organism into the genetic material of another organism. The DNA which contains the foreign segment is known as recombinant DNA. The application of this technology is known as genetic engineering. It has lead to major advancements in healthcare and in other areas of study.
