Answer:
Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.
Explanation:
Following are few of it's applications:
<u>Medical field</u>- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.
<u>Agricultural industry</u>- It has been used to synthesize improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.
<u>Environment</u>- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.
It is an organic catalyst. It speeds up certain chemical reactions in the body.
If the predator that feeds off the dart frogs goes extinct or migrates to a different area then the dart fronts will have a much larger population. This means that the resources the dart frogs rely on will start to deminish and their prey will have smaller numbers
