This document discusses genetic engineering and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It begins by defining genetic engineering as the process of transferring genetic material from one organism to another. The resulting organism is called a transgenic or GMO. The first step to creating a GMO is to choose a gene or genes from an organism and insert them into a transfer vector. GMO stands for genetically modified organism. The document then discusses the uses of GMOs in pharmaceuticals, agriculture and industry. It outlines some benefits of GMOs like insect resistant and herbicide tolerant crops that can increase yields, as well as potential risks like allergic reactions and lack of research on long term effects. Finally, it addresses some common myths about GMOs.

3. It is the process in which genetic
material is transferred from one
organism to another.
Selective Breeding
Genetic Engineering
Artificial Selection
Genetic Mutation

4. When gene transfer occurs, the
resulting organism is called a
_________ or a GMO.
mutant

5. What is the first step in
preparing a GMO?

42. GROUP TASKS
Each group will be given unique tasks related to genetic
engineering. After each tasks, the students should be
able to present it in the class.
• Group 1 – Create a presentation in a multimedia
platform such as eMaze, SlideShare, Canva or Powtoon
to illustrate the processes of genetic engineering
• Group 2 – Conduct a survey on a supermarket and list
down products that are labelled to be GMO and
conduct a random interview to consumers to what
extend they know about GMO products.
• Group 3 – Make a critical analysis/review on the Case
Study, “Designer Babies”. Prepare a Power Point
Presentation.
