Genetic engineering symbolizes a set of technology that are being used to change the genetic makeup of tissues and shift genes across species limitations to generate novel creatures.

Advancements in Genetic Engineering
1.
2. 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. 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. 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. o Applications in Medicines: A majority of the findings of genetic
research have proved to be of great significance to the medical
world.
o Applications in Industries: Synthetically produced items are now
available in the markets which are used as raw materials by the
industrialists.
o Applications in Agriculture: Artificially synthesized fruits and
vegetables is just one of the many aspects.
o Applications for Humans: Scientists are pondering over the
possibility of making children with only the desirable traits are
possible after the successes in cloning.
