6 0

Answer:

Genetic engineering is deliberate modification of genome to gain desired traits.

The main steps of genetic engineering:

Restriction enzymes are used to isolate the required gene leaving it with sticky ends. Sticky ends are a short section of unpaired bases A vector, which is usually a bacterial plasmid or a virus, is cut by the same restriction enzyme leaving it with corresponding sticky ends. The vector and the isolated gene are joined together by ligase enzyme. The vector inserts the gene into required cells. The genes are transferred to animal, plant or microorganism cells, during early development, which allows them to develop with the desired characteristics.

Explain what would happen if a mistake is made during meiosis
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Errors can occur when the chromosomes segregate into the gametes during meiosis resulting in egg or sperm with too many or too few chromosomes. As a result, fertilised eggs and the ensuing embryos may have trisomy (an extra chromosome of a particular pair) in each cell or monosomy (one chromosome fewer in each cell).
