Question

Transgenic organisms can be created using different scientific techniques. One area of research involving transgenic organisms is the creation of edible vaccines. Scientists are attempting to modify plants such as bananas and potatoes to contain vaccines to diseases such as hepatitis B and the Norwalk virus. What kind of technique would scientists use to make edible vaccines? a. hybridization c. inducing of mutations b. inbreeding d. genetic engineering

Answer 1

Answer:

Genetic engineering

Explanation:

This involves the identification of a desired gene, altering, isolating and transferring it from one living organism to another. The result is a genetically modified organism or a transgenic. Genetic engineering has been used in production of substances like insulin and somatropin hormones, antibiotics, interferons, vaccines and vitamins.
