In the 1980’s, the term ‘genetic engineering’ was known only in top scientific research stations. ...
What is Genetic Engineering? ... Chromosomes are the storage place for all genetic information. ... The genetic information in the DNA is written and coded in such a way that it can be understood by almost all living species on earth, thus beginning what is called the universal code of life. ...
Genetic engineering (GE) is used to take genes and segments of DNA from one species, e. ... In simple terms, what genetic engineers have been doing is removing a desirable gene segment from one organism and implanting it into another. Yet there is now widespread controversy over the harmful and beneficial effects of genetic engineering to which, at this time, there seems to be no concrete solution. ... This would also allow for plants to be able to tolerate colder or warmer, drier or wetter conditions, meaning plants, such as food crops, could be grown in a wider range of countries than at present
· The technology involved with GE can be used to be a major factor in treating genetic disorders and cancer
· New Human types can be created with beneficial characteristics
· As an alternative to the donation of vital organs, parts of the human body can be genetically engineered giving more people a better chance at life
· GE animals can generate pharmaceutical proteins that cannot be made in any other way.
