1.
2. Start of Genetic Engineering Genetic engineering: Scientific alteration of DNA. Started after the discovery of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick. DNA determines physical and mental characteristics.
3. Types of Genetic Engineering Germline Gene Therapy Alteration of genome takes place in reproductive cell. Alterations can be inherited if inserted into chromosomes. Mostly done in animals.
4. Types of Genetic Engineering Somatic Cell Gene Therapy Alteration of genome in other than sex cell. Bad genes can be swapped for good ones. Not inheritable. Limited success rate.
11. More People = More Food Crops are engineered to resist disease. No disease means more crops last. More crops means more food for the growing population.
12.
