Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering happens like this:

Cut the gene out

Cut the gene out

  • Enzymes are used to “cut” a desired gene out of a chromosome.
Cut a vector

Cut a vector

  • The same enzyme is used to “cut” a vector. The Vector is usually a bacterial plasmid (loop of DNA) or virus.
Gene inserted

Gene inserted

  • The vector is used to insert the gene into the required cells.
Delivering gene

Delivering gene

  • If the gene is delivered into cells before they have differentiated (at the egg or embryo stage), all cells in the developed organism will have the gene and show the characteristic.
