By using the techniques of genetic engineering, scientists are able to modify genetic material so that a particular gene of interest from one cell can be incorporated into a different cell.
-Describe a procedure by which this can be done
-Describe how you could determine whether the gene was successfully incorporated.
One acceptable example is to to make a plant toxin resistant. To do this scientist have to find a toxin resistant gene and then implant it into a plant.
To see if the gene was successfully incorporated scientists could expose the plant to toxins. If it survives then the gene was succesfully incorporated, it it dies then the gene wasnt.
