organisms or cells.
2. Outline the processes involved in genetic engineering
3. Compare classical and modern breeding techniques of
genetic engineering
4. Describe the procedures of DNA insertion
5. Explain how genetically modified organisms are
determined

The first genetically modified plant was produced in 1982, an

antibiotic-resistant tobacco plant. The tobacco plants were
engineered for herbicide resistance.
