Question #3e49e
2 Answers
Genetic engineering is the process by which the genes of a living cell are deliberately changed. This is usually done for medicinal or industrial use.
Genetic Engineering is a relatively new and exciting field of Biology that allows scientists to replicate, create and "engineer" biological components of specimens, more specifically, humans.
Explanation:
In most cases, Genetic Engineering may be described as the direct contact and alteration of DNA. Some examples are:
Babies/Reproduction:
Using powerful gene-editing tools, scientists (particularly Genetic Engineers) can use plasmids and proteins to alter sperm, eggs and embryos to create the "perfect" baby.
Furthermore, using the same types of proteins, scientists can alter genes that may carry cancer-related genetics that may cause death to the carrier of the genetics.
All the best!
