How does genetic engineering work? Loukya Sujeevan, GGSK College

Genetic engineering is a growing process in science in today’s world.  It is when you take a gene for a desired characteristic from one organism and insert it into the genome of another organism to get the desired characteristic.  This process involves 2 enzymes, the restriction enzyme and the ligase enzyme.  In simple words, it is when a scientist gets the desired characteristic and inserts it into a human or plant.
