Genetic EngineeringGenetic Engineering• The process of manipulating and transferring The process of manipulating and transferring instructions carried by genes from one cell to anotherinstructions carried by genes from one cell to another
Why do scientists want to change gene Why do scientists want to change gene instructions?instructions?
• to produce needed chemicals• to carry out useful processes• to give an organism desired characteristics
