Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic engineering is the process of manipulating genes for practical purposes. How could genetic engineering most likely benefit people with genetic diseases in the future? Genes causing diseases could be repaired through the use of recombinant DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering refers to the direct manipulation of DNA to alter an organism’s characteristics (phenotype) in a particular way.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism. This may involve changing a single base pair (A-T or C-G), deleting a region of DNA or adding a new segment of DNA.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic modification of plants involves adding a specific stretch of DNA into the plant’s genome, giving it new or different characteristics. This could include changing the way the plant grows, or making it resistant to a particular disease.
