Genetic Engineering technology at a Glance:
In our day to day life we see lot of inventions & discovers. To add to this we list the facts and details about Genetic Engineering (GE). What is GE? Genetic Engineering (GE) is a laboratory technique used by scientists to change the DNA of living organisms. Figure shows how genetic engineering works Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. The main role of DNA molecules is the long-term storage of information. DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints or a recipe, or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and RNA molecules. The DNA segments that carry this genetic information are called genes, but other DNA sequences have structural purposes, or are involved in regulating the use of this genetic information. Molecular biologists have discovered many enzymes which change the stru...
