Detailed explanation-1: -After preliminary experiments in 1973, the Cohen-Boyer team was able to cut open a plasmid loop from one species of bacteria, insert a gene from different bacterial species and close the plasmid. This created a recombinant DNA molecule–a plasmid containing recombined DNA from two different sources.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1973 American biochemists Stanley N. Cohen and Herbert W. Boyer became the first to insert recombined genes into bacterial cells, which then reproduced.
Detailed explanation-3: -Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen made the first genetically modified organism in 1973, a bacterium resistant to the antibiotic kanamycin. The first genetically modified animal, a mouse, was created in 1974 by Rudolf Jaenisch, and the first plant was produced in 1983.
