  2. Definition: One whose genome has been modified by externally applied new DNA; a term applied to metazoans. What is a transgenic plant?

  3. The “Gene gun” (USED TO MAKE GOLDEN RICE) The Agro-bacterium method • This method involves the introduction of a soil dwelling bacteria that can infect plant with a piece of the soil dwellings DNA. 2 Methods used to introduce new genes

  4. Purpose for golden rice • The purpose for creating Golden Rice is because people in Asian countries eat a lot of rice every day and the wild rice in Asia lacks on important nutrient Vitamin A. By adding a beta carotene the rice can have the needed Vitamin A that the people in Asia need to survive. Golden Rice contains two genes from daffodils and one from bacterium.

  5. advantage disadvantages • The Golden Rice can save people’s lives in undeveloped countries where poverty is high and the main diet is rice. The Wild rice in those countries lacks vitamins and can make people die or even become blind. • Companies make money on the development of genetically modified crops. • With the successful completion of modifying Golden Rice, some fear that it will lead large companies to create more genetically modified crops and make a profit off of them as well. Advantages and disadvantages

  6. Do you agree with using transgenic organisms why or why not?
