Chapter 22, Problem 5CONQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Advantages and disadvantages of production of medical agents by genetically engineered microorganisms.
Introduction:
Genetically modified organisms play an important role in increasing the production of crops. Crops that are produced using genetic engineering are disease resistant, have a high tolerance towards the adverse environment, and also have a better shelf life. The organization that approves genetically modified organism is GEAC (Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee).
