ENTRY #2 

How GMOs are made?
In order to make GMOs there are three components that are the gene that is been transferred, the organism that would be receiving the gene and a vector to carry the gene from it's original organism to the other organism wanted. In order for the gene to be transferred it must be cut out from it's original organism, it is cut by a restriction enzyme that cuts the DNA at a specific point.


An example of the genetic engineering process for agricultural crops
The genetic engineering process for agriculture crops is that they take out the DNA of the organism and transfer it into another organism to make it better. They are known as the GM crop or genetically engineered crops. The Crops are sprayed with chemicals to get rid of bugs and they change the DNA so that they could grow faster and grow in a way they want it to grow.
