The Importance of Genetics People fear what they do not understand. If only society would take time to understand the facts of genetics‚ they would grasp the concept of the important role it plays in our everyday life. With our coming into the 21st century we must take advantage of the technology we develop‚ in order to continue survival with all of the new obstacles we uncover everyday. Every time we take a bite of an apple‚ or taste the juices of a vegetable‚ we think of how good it is or how

Genetic Modification Genetic modification is the same as genetic engineering and genetic manipulation‚ which is the use of modern technology to change or alter the genetic code of an organism. Genetic modification includes using genes from one organism and inserting them into another‚ however‚ genetic modification can also be altering the original gene of the organism without changing the genetic codes. Therefore a (GMO) Genetically Modified Organism is one whose genes were altered. Genetic modification
