The process where an organisms DNA is purposely altered

recombinant DNA technology

A gene from one organism is removed and inserted into the DNA from another organism creating a trangenic

Gene

Codes for a specific protien, which is associated with a particular function

• 1. vaccines
• 2. insulin/Humulin
• 3. modification of crops
• 3. human growth hormones/Protopin

Food items that have been genetically engineered

• Two sequential cell divisions that result in the reproduction of the chromosome number to one-half
• because in sexual reproduction involves the

No so it is nearly impossible for a consumer to determine whether their food has been genetically modified

• There is a risk of allergic reations that do not occur when consumer eats a food that is not genetically modified.
• ex. sudden allergy to tomatoes (flavr savr^tm)

The presence of a Bt toxin. Although Bt toxin is approved by FDA it causes allergies in some consumers.

Technique in which a corrected version of the gene is delivered to cells containing the defective gene

Diploid. (One of which chromosomes are present in pairs.)

Haploid (one in which the chromosomes are not in pairs)
