Answer:

F-d-b-c-e-a

Explanation:

- identification of the gene interest

- isolation of the gene of interest

- amplifying the gene to produce many copies

- associating the gene with an appropriate promoter and poly A sequence and insertion into plasmid

- multiplying the plasmid in bacteria

- transference of the construit into the recipient tissue, usually fertilized egg

Genetically modified organisms are animals, plants or microorganisms whose hereditable material is modified with the help of genetic engineering for producing and expressing the desired trait. Examples of GMOs are insect-resistant corn, virus-resistant plums etc.

The correct order of sequences for creating GMOs is f, d, c, e, b and a.

The sequences of creating GMO's can be explained as:

  • The desired gene of interest is identified and isolated from the source organism and a plasmid acting as a vector is derived from bacterial strain.

  • The desired gene is inserted into the plasmid and recombinant DNA is inserted into the bacteria which are allowed to reproduce and make multiple copies.

  • The desired gene copies are then transferred to the target organism for creating a genetically modified species.

Therefore, the correct sequence is f, d, c, e, b and a.
