| Clones | Genetically identical organisms |

| Genetic engineering | Removing genes from one organism and inserting them into the DNA of another organism |
| Disease resistance | A property of plants which is selected so that bacteria and fungi don't attack them |

| Virus | 'Organism' which injects genes into cells |
| Gene therapy | The branch of medicine which tries to replace faulty genes with good versions |
| Reproduce | What bacteria do very quickly which makes them a good organism to genetically engineer |
