Question
What are transgenic bacteria? Illustrate using any one example.
✓
Answer
→ By the help of genetic engineering, foreign gene is transferred to bacteria.
→ Now in this bacteria, this foreign gene becomes intrinsic and expressed. This bacteria is called transgenic bacteria.
→ Example: when the gene A and B of human insulin gene is inserted to the plasmid of E. Coli
→ Transgenic E.coli produces insulin peptide chains.
