Genetic Engineering: Making Transgenic Plants

The video tutorial explains genetic engineering, focusing on creating transgenic plants. It covers two main methods: biolistic transformation and gene splicing. Biolistic transformation involves using a gene gun to insert beneficial genes into plant cells. Gene splicing utilizes Agrobacterium bacteria to transfer desired genes into plant DNA. Both methods aim to produce plants with traits like pest and disease resistance, which are passed to future generations.

Explain how scientists modify Ti Plasmids to create transgenic plants.

What happens to the trait coded by the inserted gene in future generations of the plant?
