Question

Scientists have recently modified the bacteria that cause tooth decay by inserting a fragment of DNA into the bacteria's DNA that prevents it from producing lactic acid. What is this process called?
genetic engineering
biological vector
mechanical vector
electrophoresis

GPT-5 mini · Answer

genetic engineering

Explanation: inserting DNA into an organism to change its traits (e.g., stop lactic acid production) is genetic engineering (recombinant DNA technology). Biological/mechanical vectors and electrophoresis are different concepts.
