Genetic Enginnering

S.B. Primrose and R.M. Twyman

Genetic engineering is a branch of biotechnology that involves the direct manipulation of an organism's DNA to alter its characteristics or produce desired traits. This revolutionary technology enables scientists to add, remove, or modify specific genes, making it possible to develop genetically modified organisms (GMOs) with improved qualities. Applications of genetic engineering span various fields, including agriculture (disease-resistant crops), medicine (gene therapy), and industry (biofuel production). By harnessing the power of DNA, genetic engineering holds the potential to address global challenges like food security, disease prevention, and environmental sustainability. ABDUL SABOOR AHMADZAI
