Chapter 19, Problem 1

In this chapter, we focused on a number of interesting applications of genetic engineering, genomics, and biotechnology. At the same time, we found many opportunities to consider the methods and reasoning by which much of this information was acquired. From the explanations given in the chapter, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?

What experimental evidence confirms that we have introduced a useful gene into a transgenic organism and that it performs as we anticipate?

Video transcript

Hello everyone here. We have a question asking us once the transgenic DNA enters the nucleus, how can it be incorporated into the host genome after it enters the nucleus? The only way for it to be incorporated into the host genome is for it to undergo home along its recombination. This is the type of genetic recombination in which the nucleotide sequences of two similar or identical DNA molecules are exchanged. So our answer is C through Homola august recombination. Thank you for watching. Bye.
