I need to tell you a bit about genetic engineering and cloning. So what is genetic engineering and cloning? Well genetic engineering is the deliberate modification of the characteristic of an organism by manipulating its genetic material. While cloning is using this genetic material to produce an exact replica of the original organism. Both these processes have sparked substantial debate amongst groups within society during recent times. Genetic engineering and cloning has become so controversial
Premium DNA Genetics Gene
Genetic engineering (GE) is also known‚ as genetic modification is the process of organisms that are genetically modified. In this process the goal is to transfer new DNA to an organism so it can improve its habits and make new cells. Genes are inserted from E.g. Corn‚ this term is known as cross breeding where different plants are modified to grow bigger plants and to produce more food. When a gene transfer occurs‚ the gene is then called a GMO (Genetically modified organism)‚ Genetic engineering

Endless possibilities in Genetic Engineering Within a short period of time‚ genetic engineering has turned into one of the biggest growth areas in scientific research. It appears regularly in the media although the general public has no idea the meaning. It is currently one of the most sensitive areas of ethical debate. We are growing day by day in the increase of scientific discoveries. “The federal budget in 2003 included $24.8 million dollars for human embryonic stem cell research-up

Introduction By the year 2025‚ the Philippines is believed to be brought to a water crisis if no new sources of water are developed or found to meet the growing demand of the citizens. (Sapnu‚ R.‚ Balabo‚ D.‚ & Cervantes‚ D.‚ 2007) "There is a Japan International Cooperation Agency study that says that if we will not conserve water‚ there may be some problems. But of course we can always start conserving now and look for other sources‚" Lopez (2013) said. Studies have shown how water conservation
