What is the final step in genetically modifying an organism?

Options

  1. AIdentification of DNA with desirable genes
  2. BIntroduction of the identified DNA into the host
  3. CMaintenance of introduced DNA in the host and transfer to its progeny
  4. DCloning of the desired genes in E. coli

Correct answer

C. Maintenance of introduced DNA in the host and transfer to its progeny

Step-by-step solution

You can hence infer that there are three basic steps in genetically modifying an organism — >(i) identification of DNA with desirable genes; >(ii) introduction of the identified DNA into the host; >(iii) maintenance of introduced DNA in the host and transfer of the DNA to its progeny.
