Transgenic organisms and molecular biotechnology play key roles in modern food production.
Name the storage polysaccharide found in animal liver and muscle cells.
Name the structural polysaccharide that is the main component of fungal cell walls.
A genetically modified strain of dairy cattle has been developed to produce milk with high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids and very low levels of lactose. Suggest the physiological benefits of each of these dietary features to a human consumer.
The production of transgenic organisms relies on recombinant DNA technology. Explain how enzymes are used in the process of genetic engineering to insert a target gene into a plasmid vector.
