Chapter 14, Problem 8RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The uses of genetic engineering in agriculture.
Introduction:
Genetic engineering is the modification in the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of an organism. It involves inserting or introducing desired genes from an organism into the DNA of another organism. This technique is used to produce novel organisms or improved organisms.
