Question 11

Bacteria can be genetically modified to produce chymosin, an enzyme used in cheese production that is traditionally extracted from the stomachs of calves.

One step in this process involves inserting the chymosin gene into a bacterial plasmid.

Explain how a specific gene, such as the chymosin gene, is inserted into a plasmid.
