Answer:
The term for the process is called genetic engineering.
Step-by-step explanation:
Genetic engineering is a process by which a gene containing the desired characteristics is integrated with a vector resulting in the formation of chimeric DNA molecule or recombinant DNA molecule.The recombinant DNA molecule is then incorporated inside a suitable host.
The chimeric DNA then undergo gene expression inside the host resulting in the generation of desired protein.
Genetic engineering can also be used to eliminate harmful traits by mutating the specific portion of the target gene that is responsible for the generation of harmful traits.
