- Answer the following correctly. Designer Genes Work (This is all about Applications of Recombinant DNA). Illustrate Designer genes using this information: The Arctic apple is a fruit engineered to resist browning after being cut. Currently they are only available in the US – in golden, fuji and gala varieties – where they have been given Food and Drug Administration approval. If approved in Europe, they would have to be labelled as genetically modified. The manufacturers claim the main benefit is to help cut down on food waste. And based on the following: a. Identify a special trait. b. Identify a source organism. c. Identify a target organism d. Identify the modified/added trait.
