Title: Explain techniques of genetic engineering.
Course: Biomedical Engineering (21049) > Section: Exploring Cell and Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Explanation should include

- a definition of genetic engineering
- the recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) method, using plasmids and vectors
- the electroporation and chemical poration methods
- polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
- electrophoresis.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What tools, materials, and processes are used to manipulate genetic material?
- When would one use these specific techniques?
- How do genetic mutations affect cell function?
