GENETIC ENGINEERING

10:20

  Genetic engineering is engaged in the research and genetic modification of humans , animals and plants. There have been many successes achieved by researchers abroad in this aspect so that no one gets extensive coverage of international media . However , each technology must be good and bad effects .

   Then, aspects of genetic engineering is to married couples who have no children . Now, there are technologies and methods that allow such couples who have a child with a convenient and secure . Existence of children in a household that is certainly able to deliver more cheerful atmosphere envisioned by humans.

   In fact , this technology can also make a preliminary investigation to determine that the child to be born was not any specific defects . Such action makes genetic determinism is certainly capable of giving a relief to parents whose children will receive in their lives.

   The most interesting impact brought about by this technology is the livestock industry will be able to be extended . Definitely more high-quality livestock breeds can be produced easily and fast . The result of such livestock provide a source of human proteins essential to ensure human life . Farmers will not have any problems critical to generate good results.

  Genetic engineering is the process of manually adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add one or more new traits that are not already found in that organism. Examples of genetically engineered (transgenic) organisms currently on the market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides, and crops with modified oil content.  DNA is the recipe for life. DNA is a molecule found in the nucleus of every cell and is made up of 4 subunits represented by the letters A, T, G, and C. The order of these subunits in the DNA strand holds a code of information for the cell. Just like the English alphabet makes up words using 26 letters, the genetic language uses 4 letters to spell out the instructions for how to make the proteins an organism will need to grow and live.  Small segments of DNA are called genes. Each gene holds the instructions for how to produce a single protein. This can be compared to a recipe for making a food dish. A recipe is a set of instructions for making a single dish.
