This laboratory procedure has made the development of bacteria that can synthesize human insulin possible.
What is genetic engineering?
Allowing only those individuals with desired traits to reproduce the next generations
What is selective breeding?
This is a cell, group of cells, or organism that is descended from and genetically identical to a single common ancestor

Agrobacterium Tumefaciens has the natural ability to genetically engineer plants by
Where do these large tumor-like swellings occur?
This acts like the "glue" to combine the DNA fragments together.
What are enzymes?
This type selective breeding leads to an increase in recessive traits in a population
What is inbreeding?

What is C?
The bacterium transfers part of its DNA to a part in the plant
What is the plant's genome?
The next stop after you identify the gene of interest
What is remove the gene?
Introducing these to a population can increase genetic variation
What are mutations?
This is when an embryo can be manipulated to turn into other cells for growth
What is stem cell?
Genetic Engineering require multiple copies of DNA sequence or gene of interest
What the first step to do on the DNA?
These are modified amino acids that only plant cells infected with Agrobacteria produce.
What are opines?
Over the last 50 years, the field of genetic engineering has developed because
This type of selective breeding crosses dissimilar individuals to produce offspring with the best traits of both parents
What is hybridization?
This is process how an egg can be fertilized outside the womb in a tube
What is in vitro fertilization?
