GENES AND GENETIC ENGINEERING
Genetic engineering is the deliberate transfer of single genes between organisms. Genes are the stretches of DNA -- or occasionally RNA -- that carry information about the structure and function of all organisms.
Genetic engineering is changing medicine, agriculture and even the legal system. Genetic engineering is very clever and could be very useful. But it all seems to be happening much too fast and nobody knows what the effects of making and …showed first 75 words of 1615 total…
