    In biology‚ term- mutation has been described as changes to the base pair sequence of the genetic material of an organism. Mutations can be caused by: copying errors in the genetic material during cell division‚ by exposure to ultraviolet or ionizing radiation‚ chemical mutagens‚ or viruses‚ or can occur deliberately under cellular control during processes such as hypermutation. In multicellular organisms‚ mutations can be subdivided into germ line mutations‚ which can be passed on to descendants

    Genetic engineering‚ also called genetic modification‚ is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genome using biotechnology. New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence‚ or by synthesizing the DNA‚ and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed‚ or "knocked out"‚ using a nuclease. Gene targeting is a different technique that useshomologous recombination to

    becoming keener to the field of engineering. Genetic engineering that is. When one thinks of “genetic engineering‚” the first thought is probably a perfect child‚ or paradoxically some inconceivable creature‚ forged under the microscope in a scientific laboratory. Though both of these are genetic engineering‚ many people do not consider other things‚ such as genetic engineering of agriculture and medicine‚ both of which are extremely useful. Through the genetic altering of plants and crops‚ scientists
