==Key Stage 4 Higher==
===Meaning===
[[Golden Rice|Golden rice]] is a '''genetically modified plant''' which has had the [[gene]]s [[Coding DNA|coding]] for the production of Vitamin A inserted into the [[DNA]] of a rice [[plant]].
===About Golden Rice===
: Many people in emerging economies have diets which are poor in vitamin A. This can lead to blindness.
: The [[plant]] [[gene]] which [[Coding DNA|codes]] for the [[Protein Synthesis|synthesises]] of vitamin A is removed form one [[organism]] using a special [[enzyme]] and inserted into the [[DNA]] of a [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] in a young rice [[plant]]. This [[plant]] is then is then cut to make several clones.
: This will then produce vitamin A in the rice [[plant]]s preventing thousands of children from going blind every year.
