    Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the process of modifying an organism's genetic makeup. There are several methods used in genetic engineering including replacing genes, inserting new genes, removing genes, and mutating existing genes. This creates genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Some examples of GMOs are soybeans with herbicide tolerance, insect-resistant corn, canola with altered fatty acid composition, and plum with virus resistance. Genetic engineering can be used to produce disease-resistant and insect-resistant crops, edible vaccines, larger crops, and produce larger animals as a food source.

    Activity 5: Genetic Engineering on the Go…

    Introduction:
    Glofish. Bt corn. Humulin. Golden rice. Flavr Savr tomatoes. All of these are products
    of genetic engineering which is also called genetic modification. What is genetic engineering
    all about? Let us discover the world of genetic engineering in this activity.

    Problem: What is genetic engineering?


    Materials: powerpoint presentation Flow chart
    Procedure:
    1. Watch and study the attached powerpoint presentation in the google classroom.
    2. Complete the flow chart.
    3. Answer the guide questions.

    Questions:
    1. What is genetic modification?

    - The process of modifying an organism's genetic makeup is known as genetic


    modification. Controlled, or selective, breeding of plants and animals has been done
    inadvertently for thousands of years.

    2. How is genetic modification completed? Identify the methods


    used.

    - GM is a method that utilizes introducing DNA into an organism's genome.


    New DNA is put into plant cells to create a GM plant. Typically, the cells are
    cultivated in tissue culture and subsequently transformed into plants. The
    modified DNA will be passed down to the seeds generated by these plants.

    3. Name some genetically modified organisms.

    Soybean - Herbicide tolerance


    Corn - Insect resistance
    Canola - Altered fatty acid composition
    Plum - Virus resistance

    4. Give some uses of GMOs.

    - Increased crop yields, lower food and drug production costs, reduced pesticide use,
    improved nutrient composition and food quality, pest and disease resistance, greater food
    security, and medical benefits to the world's growing population are just a few of the
    advantages of genetic engineering in agriculture.

    Conclusion:

    - Scientists can use genetic engineering to implant only one gene at a time. This prevents
    the introduction of genes that have undesired properties. Genetic engineering also aids in
    the creation of new foods with desired characteristics.
    It is feasible to construct animal model organisms of human diseases by knocking out
    genes relevant for specific ailments. Hereditary engineering offers the potential to heal
    genetic illnesses through gene therapy, in addition to creating hormones, vaccines, and
    other medications.
