Gene technology

What you'll learn

1. 1

   Gene technology is like using molecular scissors to cut and paste DNA from one organism into another. 🧬

2. 2

   What does gene technology allow us to do with DNA? 🧪

3. 3

   Drag the restriction enzyme (scissors) to cut the DNA at the right spot. Then drag the gene into the bacterial plasmid. 🧬

4. 4

   Let's make a bacterium that produces human insulin — step by step. 💉

5. 5

   Why do we use the same restriction enzyme to cut both the human DNA and the bacterial plasmid? 🧩

6. 6

   Now you're the scientist! Drag the correct DNA fragments to build a bacterium that glows green. 🦠

7. 7

   What is the name for a bacterium that has been given a new gene from another species? 🦠
