Genetic engineering can be used to create more productive strains of farm animals. By adding genes to an animal’s DNA, the anima
l can be made to produce milk or meat containing vital nutrients that would not be found naturally in those products. This provides a greater amount of nutrients per serving of milk or meat. Do you think that this type of genetic engineering should be pursued? Explain your answer. What are some possible impacts (positive and negative) of this type of genetic engineering on individuals, society, and the environment?
Genetic engineering is the
direct treatment of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. It is a set of
technologies used to alter the genetic makeup of cells, together with the
transport of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved
organisms. An example would be to
protect plant from insect damage, it can be made into a transgenic plant.
Transgenic plant are called genetically modified organisms (GMO) because there
is a gene added or removed in the original plant to obtain a set of
characteristic such as insect damage.
It has four distinct seasons: winter, spring, summer and fall. Winters are cold and summers are warm. Temperate deciduous forests get between 30 and 60 inches of precipitation a year. Precipitation in this biome happens year round.
