2genetic engineeringchanging an organism's genes by inserting or removing them
3plasmidan enzyme that cuts DNA
4ligasea loop of DNA in a bacterium

The table defines terms used in genetic engineering. Which row gives the correct definition?

Answer Details

Definitions must match the real meaning of each term. The correct row defines genetic engineering as changing an organism's genes by inserting or removing them, which is exactly the note's definition of genetic modification. Breeding the tallest plants together is selective breeding, not genetic engineering. The other wrong rows swap the vocabulary: a plasmid is a loop of DNA (not an enzyme that cuts DNA), and ligase is the joining enzyme (not a loop of DNA).
