2. How many steps are involved in the process of genetic engineering? 4 6 5
3. What is an advantage of genetic engineering over traditional plant breeding? The method of genetic engineering is a fool-proof method where plant breeding is not. Potentially, traits from any living organism can be transferred into a plant and is also more specific in that a single trait can be added to a plant. Genetically engineering is less costly than traditional plant breeding.
4. Which is not a step in making a marketable genetically engineered plant? Backcross Breeding Transformation Horizontal Gene Transfer
5. How many years does it usually take to develop a genetically engineered crop from the initial concept to the market? 6-15 years 1-3 years 15-20 years
