Question

What is NOT a

method used
to genetically
modify
organisms?
A. making holes in
the cell to get the
new DNA into the
Cell
B. having bacteria
engulf a cell with the
new DNA
C. using a plasmid
to insert new gene
into the cell of the
organism

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

- electroporation or microinjection actually pokes holes in the cell membrane so DNA can be introduced directly into the cell. Microinjection requires the use of a fine needle to deliver nucleic acids to individual cells.

- you can insert DNA fragments or genes into a plasmid vector, creating a recombinant plasmid. This plasmid can be introduced into a bacterium by way of the process called transformation. Then, because bacteria divide rapidly, they can be used as factories to copy DNA fragments in large quantities.

Thus, leaves question B as the Not method
