Question
Chapter 18.5, Problem 3R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The concerns regarding the recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) research that led to the moratorium after Cohen and Boyer’s experiment (they inserted viral DNA into bacterial DNA inventing recombinant DNA technology). Also, the reasons given by the scientists to assure the safety and lift the moratorium.
Introduction:
Many traits of the plants are altered according to the requirements by the DNA recombinant technology. There are many concerns raised against the introduction of genes in the genome of the plant via recombinant DNA technology.
