  1. Advancements in Genetic Engineering

  2. What is Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering refers to a set of technologies that are being used to change the genetic makeup of cells and move genes across species boundaries to produce novel organisms. The techniques involve highly sophisticated manipulations of genetic material.

  3. Importances of DNA in Genetic Engineering DNA is a ‘universal language’, meaning the genetic code means the same thing in all organisms. It would be like if all cookbooks around the world were written in a single language that everyone knew.

  4. How Genetic Engineering is done • Genetic engineering is a method of rewriting the DNA code in a molecule, placing it inside of a cell, and allowing the DNA to duplicate and morph. It includes 3 stages • Cloning • Screening • Gene transfer

  5. Applications of Genetic Engineering • Applications in Medicines: A majority of the findings of genetic research have proved to be of great significance to the medical world. • Applications in Industries: Synthetically produced items are now available in the markets which are used as raw materials by the industrialists. • Applications in Agriculture: Artificially synthesized fruits and vegetables is just one of the many aspects. • Applications for Humans: Scientists are pondering over the possibility of making children with only the desirable traits are possible after the successes in cloning.
