Discuss the steps required to introduce a new gene into an animal or a plant by traditional methods and the steps required to introduce a new gene by genetic engineering.

What will be an ideal response?


The traditional method is selective breeding, and a new gene may or may
not be transferred with mating. In genetic engineering, transgenic animals
are produced by taking the gene of choice from one animal and putting it
into an egg removed from a diff erent animal. The egg is then implanted into
a surrogate mother.
