   ocr: GENETIC ENGINEERING CIENTISTS are able to take a gene insects can be transterred into a from one species and introduce it tomato plant cell. This cell grows into another, sO that it will produce into a tomato plant that produces anew characteristic in that second poisonous chemicals and thus will species. For example, the gene that not be eaten by insects. This is an produces chemicals poisonous to example of genetic engineering. - - - - x . - - Ordinary tomato plant Gene (DNA) transfer Gene transfer The genetically engineered tomato Genetically plant is protected by a new gene engineered from ...
