GM plants
Across
- 2. /plant, bacterial or fungal cell whose cell wall are entirely removed
- 4. can infect plants which makes it a suitable carrier for delivering DNA to a new organism.
- 6. the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism.
- 7. first step in the genetic engineering process
- 8. The first genetically modified crop approved for sale in the U.S.
- 10. method in which the selected DNA is attached to microscopic particles of gold or tungsten.
- 11. designing the gene to work once inside a different organism
Down
- 1. new gene is inserted into some of the cells for gene transfer to occur
- 3. modifies the genetic composition of plants by making crosses and selecting new superior genotype combinations
- 5. uses electric shock for gene transfer to occur.
- 6. genetically modified food to increase its nutrient value for the first time.
- 9. method in which the selected DNA is injected into a fertilized ovum through a glass capillary tube.
