Anjam Naz Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering is the artificial alteration of the genetic code. It is often described as a very precise method of changing the genetic makeup of an organism. Genes are a definite sequence of bases in the DNA chain which together code for the production of a particular protein. They are sections of the DNA which control traits of an individual, such as eye colour, which are different for each person. By natural breeding genes are passed down to offspring by the parents however, with new technology scientists are able to identify an individual gene and insert it into another organism which will then carry the trait of that gene. This alters the DNA. The extraction of the gene is done by physical and chemical methods The process of moving a gene from one molecule to another molecule is called cloning. In the cloning process a fragment of DNA, containing...
