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

    Genetic Cloning

    • 3 Pages

    1. Genetic cloning is one way of studying the specific proteins involved in cell division. A gene contains the instructions for how to make a protein. By mutating a gene‚ the protein’s shape‚ size and function could all be affected. Mutating a gene changes its instructions. Once a mutated gene is created and incorporated into a cell’s DNA‚ the cell replicates‚ creating many cells containing the mutant gene. The cells with the changed gene can then be compared to normal cells. For starters‚ you must

    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
