Notes for Life Structure and Function, Chapter 5, Section 3

Advances in Genetics ADressler: genetic engineering- biological and chemical methods to change the arrangement of a gene's DNA I would stop the definition here.......Additional key facts: to improve crop production, produce large volumes of medicine, and change how cells perform their normal functions

​ jidec: *selective breeding: selecting plants with the most desired traits to breed for the next generation key words underlined?

gcasey: gene therapy*- when a normal allele is placed in a virus

cbrecher: Recombinant DNA is a type of method of genetic engineering; this happens when a segment of DNA from one organism is transferred and put into a bacterium.

gplaksa: One type of genetic engineering contains finding genes that develops the wanted traits in one plant and then injecting those genes into another plant.

CMcCarthy- chemists learned by 1950, what the nucleic acid DNA was made of, but didn't understand how the parts of DNA were arranged Where is this in section 3?**

njoanlanne: Genetically engineered produce is sometimes labeled, which allows consumers to make informed choices about their foods.
