Analyze gene transfer.

Analysis should include common techniques for moving a gene from one organism to another, including

  • indirect transfer by vector-mediated gene transfer (e.g., agrobacterium tumefaciens, vaccines)
  • direct transfer (e.g., chemical mediation, microinjection, electroporation, particle bombardment).

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are some of the processes of gene transfer, and what are the differences between them?
  • How has gene transfer affected plant specialization?
  • How can gene transfer effect AFNR industries?
