The one who will win will have the decision

what we are saying again and again from our previous topics
until today. It is the gene that was engineered by our scientist
that changed them. With the different shapes that they have.
The colors that they have. The nutrients that they have and of
course, the size that they have. Now, if these genes are
engineered by our scientists, what type of engineering in our
genetics are we talking about today?
Can you tell me now the definition of Genetic Engineering?
Yes, Sir. In application, it is
when Scientists experiment with
altering, splicing, eliminating,
and rearranging genes to obtain
specific results.
You are right. These organisms or plants that undergone
changes are what you call TRANSGENIC or
GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISM.

answering the following questions base from the video in
relation with your organic fruits and presenting your
outputs in front. Group 1 and 2 will have the tomato.
Group 3 and 4 will have the bitter gourd. Group 5 and 6
will have the banana. I will present to you and these fruits

1. What happened with the first step? How about the
second step and third step?
2. What will more likely to happen to the color, size,
seeds, juiciness and shape of the tomato/bitter
gourd/banana if the steps in genetic engineering
are applied?
EXPLAIN
Time is up! It is time to present your output. Let us have Tomato Group: When

groups significant changes can
occur. The color is more

are curves made from its
original size, depending on
the specific traits that
scientists decide to enhance
or modify. These
transformations are made
possible through three
fundamental steps in genetic
engineering: First, the
isolation of DNA fragments
from a donor organism that
exhibit the desired traits,
such as resistance to pests or
improved nutritional
content. Second, the
insertion of these isolated
DNA fragments into a
vector genome, which acts
as a vehicle to carry the
desired genetic material into
the tomato plant cells. Third,
the growth of a recombinant
vector in an appropriate
host, where the genetically
modified cells are cultivated
to develop into tomato
plants that express the new,
desired traits.

such as color, size, seeds,
juiciness, and shape, tailored
to specific desires or needs.
For instance, the bitter gourd
might be engineered to have
a more vibrant color, larger
size, fewer seeds, enhanced
juiciness, and a shape that's
more convenient for
consumption or processing.
These changes are made
possible through three key
steps in genetic engineering:
first, isolating DNA
fragments that encode
desirable traits from a donor
organism; second, inserting
these fragments into a vector
genome; and third,
introducing this vector into
the bitter gourd plant,
allowing it to integrate and
express the new traits. This
process enables precise

frost resistance. This chapter is carefully removed
(isolated) from its original book. Next, you open a special
notebook (vector genome) designed to hold and transfer
this chapter into your bitter gourd book. You insert
(insert) this chapter seamlessly, making sure it fits
perfectly into the storyline. Finally, you place this updated
notebook in a library (host), where it can be copied and
shared, allowing all future editions of your bitter gourd
book to naturally include this new chapter, giving all of
them the frost-resistant trait. Through these steps, you've
successfully customized your bitter gourd to thrive in
cooler climates, just like adding a new chapter to its story.
Next Group.
Banana Group: According
from the video, applying
genetic engineering to an
organism can lead to
remarkable changes in their
characteristics, thanks to
three key steps. First,
scientists isolate desirable
DNA fragments from a
donor organism that may
have traits like enhanced
color or increased size.
Then, they insert this DNA
into a banana's genome
using a vector, effectively
integrating new traits.
Finally, they grow the
modified bananas in an
appropriate environment to
