C. Medicines

The correct answer is. B. Proteins. if it's for the Penn foster test

Not true:
I JUST TOOK THE PENNFOSTER TEST AUGUST 2010, THE ANSWER IS C: Medicines, OTHERS ARE PLACING WRONG ANSWERS MASKED BY WHAT READS LIKE CREDIABLE DATA, I DON'T KNOW WHY! PLEASE RESEARCH MORE THAN ONE ANSWER. Good Luck!

The answer is C medicines, I just took the test

What are the benefit to humans brought about by genetic engineering?

The ability to defy gravity is one ability that has not been brought about by genetic engineering. There are many others. Free chocolate for everyone is another.interferon


What are the positive and negative effects of genetic engineering?

Genetic engineering when used on microorganisms help in the creation of new pharmaceuticals which cannot be made in any other way.Genetic engineering helps in the process of bioremediation which is the process of cleaning up waste and pollution with the help of living organisms.Genetic engineering has helped lower the overall usage of herbicide and pesticide.Genetic engineering has helped with the production of vaccines and other drugs in plants.Genetic engineering has helped produce quicker and more predictable way of generating new cultivars. Further, the cultivar properties are better known today than it was ever known before.Today, genetic engineering can produce sustainable agriculture.Genetic engineering has produced very useful genetically modified breeds which can tolerate factory farming without any suffering.In humans, genetic engineering is used to treat genetic disorders and cancer. It also helps in supplying new body parts.Although, this has not been done today, genetic engineering has the potential of creating new types of human beings with many advantageous traits.


Why did genitic engineering begin?

Genetic engineering has been around for a long time, such as selective breeding of animal stocks, but the purposeful tweaking of DNA has only been around since the 1970s. For animal breeding, breeders chose the features they most liked in the animal and bred those that exhibited these features. For the more modern version, genetic engineering was started for various reasons. Genetic engineering found a way to produce artificial insulin, produced by bacteria, in order to meet the requirements of growing numbers of diabetics. Crops were engineered to withstand pesticides and herbicides so that farmers could spray the crops to kill the insects and weeds without damaging their plants.


What is a potential benefit for the environment that stems from genetic engineering?

From the anedotal evidence, potential benefits for the environment of genetic engineering are difficult to find. There have been promises of less chemicals in the form of pesticides being needed for GM crops, but that just has not been shown to be true. Also, "unintentional" cross-breeding of GM varieties with non-GMO varieties, including organically grown crops, has been shown to be occurring.

Is corn without genetic modification better for you?

Most corn has been genetically modified, if only by centuries of plant selection. Of more concern is whether it has been subject to trans genetic engineering. For example does it contain genes of the three toed newt?? Or whatever. DON'T let them confuse you between genetic modification and trans genetic engineering.

Horses were domesticated long before the concept of genetic engineering was even selective breeding.

What does genetic engineering mean in biology?

Scientific alteration of the structure of genetic material in a living organism. It involves the production and use of recombinant DNA and has been employed to create bacteria that synthesize insulin and other human proteins.

Genetic engineering techniques have been applied in numerous fields including agriculture. One of the best-known applications of genetic engineering in agriculture is genetically modified organisms.


Would you please give an example of 'biotechnology'?

Biotechnology is when they use living things in engineering, medicine, etc. It would be genetic engineering as well, when they change and modify living organisms, such as "Monsanto Corn" or "Canola Oil".
