  14. Gene Technology

  15. Gene Technology • Selective Breeding • Genetic Engineering • Genetically Modified Foods(Frankenfoods) DONE

  16. Selective Breeding • Since 18th century, knowledge about genes has been used to improve plants and animals. • Farmers and scientistsselectthebestpossible specimensto breed from. BACK

  17. Genetic Engineering基因工程 1/2 • Genetic engineeringrefers to“cutting and pasting”of genetic material. • Genes can be removed, added or replaced to producedesirablecharacteristics.

  18. Genetic Engineering基因工程 2/2 • “Genetic engineering” has been done on plants, with the main focus on improving crop production and quality. • Genetic engineering can produce new and better plants and animals. BACK

  19. Genetically Modified Foods基因改造食物

  20. Genetically Modified Foods • Generally speaking, the phrase ‘genetically modified food’ can be used to refer to any product that gets some of its content from an organism that has been genetically modified.

  21. Could square watermelon be genetically modifies?

  22. How about potatoes that glow?
