3 Facts about genetic engineering

Genetic eingeneering is the process of modifying DNA to produce an oragnism the with desired traits.

Genetic eingeneering may produce plants that are not affected by chemicals used to kill unwanted plants or weeds.

Genetic eingeneering also allows scientists to add desired genes.

carbohydrates: (starches and sugars) composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

lipids: (fats, oils, and waxes) are made of carbon and hydrogen atoms.

nucleic acids: contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers of nucleotides. a nucleotide has three parts, a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate     (-po⬇️4) group, and a nitrogenous base.

proteins: made up of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of amino acids.
