So humans take one microbe that infects the plant normally and puts it in a virus or bacterium and make the it carries the DNA into the plant cell. 3)Humans has already used ‘genetic technology’ and here are the three examples of the living thing's human have used ‘genetic technology’ on.

We will also be discussing the disadvantages and different techniques that result from ... incubated, Gurdon discovered that only 1% to 2% of the eggs had developed into fertile adult toads. The first successful cloning of mammal was achieved nearly twenty years later. Scientists from Switzerland and the U.S. successfully cloned mice using a method similar to Gurdon’s, but required one extra step. After the nucleus was taken from the embryos of one type of mouse, they were transferred into the embryos of another mouse who served as the surrogate mother. This ...
