Question
Chapter 23, Problem 2WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How transgenic technology might be used to endow plants with the ability to fix nitrogen without the help of bacteria and determine in what ways this new technology may change agriculture.
Concept introduction:
Transgenic organisms are those organisms that have altered or modified genomes. The genes from one species can be transferred into the genes of another by using recombinant DNA technology. These techniques are used in agriculture to increase the crop yield.
