Genetic Engineering

The video tutorial explores genetic engineering, focusing on transformation examples like bacteria acquiring jellyfish genes and insulin production. It explains the process of using bacteria to produce insulin, detailing the role of plasmids and recombinant DNA. The tutorial covers vectors and delivery systems, including plasmids, viruses, microinjection, and gene guns. It introduces CRISPR as a gene editing tool and discusses its applications. Finally, it highlights genetic engineering's applications in medicine, agriculture, and research.

How is insulin produced in laboratory settings for individuals with type one diabetes?

What is the process called when bacteria take up DNA from their environment?

Explain the significance of plasmids in the context of genetic engineering.

What role do restriction enzymes play in genetic engineering?

What are transgenic organisms and how are they created?

What is CRISPR and how does it contribute to gene editing?
