GeneticEngineering

GeneticEngineering

Pros : Higher crop yield Animals with leaner meat Can save endangered animals from going extinct. Cons: Could destroy crops Could have bad effects

Genetic engineering is the process of taking genes and segments of DNA of one species and putting them in another, like the tomato it has the characteristic of a fish so that it can survive in colder weather.

Genetic engineering used in plants can stop viruses from affecting it. This can help in preserving plant to be around for a long time.

Extinction and extirpation: Genetic engineering can help this by cloning, Cloning DNA of extinct/extirpated species can gain them back into the world and their habitats.

Definition from Dictionary.com the development and application of scientific methods, procedures, and technologies that permit direct manipulation of genetic material in order to alter the hereditary traits of a cell, organism, or population.
