. . Genetic Engineering . . ..
The central dogma of molecular biology explains the flow of genetic
information from genes to protein. It provides a molecular mechanism in
understanding how genotype translates to phenotype. It became
apparent then that changing an organismal trait is possible by altering
its genetic makeup.
Genetics is a field of biology that studies how traits are passed from
parents to their offspring. It is the study of how living things receive
common traits from previous generations. These traits are described by
the genetic information carried by a molecule called DNA. The
instructions for constructing and operating an organism are contained in
the organism's DNA.
DNA. Every living organism on earth has DNA in its cells.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that contains the biological
instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the
instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring
during reproduction.
Genetic Engineering is artificially copying a piece of DNA from one
organism and joining this copy of DNA into the DNA of another organism.
It is defined as the direct manipulation of an organism's genes including
heritable and non heritable recombinant DNA constructs. Genetic
engineering involves the use of molecular techniques to modify the traits
of a target organisms.
