What Is Genetic Engineering?
Genetic Engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism. When a gene for a desirable trait is taken from one organism and inserted into another, it gives the recipient organism the ability to express that trait.

How Does Genetic Engineering
Work
Find an organism that contains the desired trait
Item 1
The DNA is extracted from that organism.
Item 2
The one desired gene must be located and copied from thousands of genes that were extracted. This is called gene cloning.
Item 3
The gene may be modified slightly to work in a more desirable way once inside the recipient organism Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
The new genes are called transgene which are delivered into cells of the recipient organism. This is called transformation.
Once a transgenic organism has been created, traditional breeding is used to improve the characteristics of the final product. Cutting Edge Discoveries
