    1. Genetic engineering refers to the direct manipulation of DNA to alter an organism's characteristics. The goal is to improve human life through advances in biotechnology and genetic engineering. 2. There are five main genetic engineering processes: DNA extraction, gene cloning, gene design, transformation, and backcross breeding. DNA extraction is the first step where DNA is extracted from an organism. 3. The final step is transformation, where the new gene is inserted into cells using various techniques.

    1. ____________________ refers to the direct manipulation of DNA to alter an


    organism’s 2. ____________________. This is usually performed with bacteria and
    viruses and involves the addition of new genes to the chromosome complement or the
    replacement of certain genes by other genes.

    The goal of genetic engineering is to study ways of improving man’s way of life
    through advances in 3. ____________________.

    There are five genetic engineering processes. First is the


    ____________________ where scientist must extract DNA from the desired organism.
    Second is the ____________________ on which the scientist separate the single gene
    of interest from the rest of the genes extracted and make thousands of copies of it.
    Third is the ____________________ which is done in a test tube by cutting the gene
    apart with enzymes and replacing gene region that have been separated. The fourth
    process is the ____________________ where the new gene is inserted into some of
    the cells using various techniques and the final process is the ____________________.

    B. Write True if the statement is correct and False if it is wrong.
