Growth hormones are something that are fed animals at most slaughter houses or dairy houses. This means that the meat, poultry or dairy you are consuming is not organic. Growth hormones make cows or chickens provide more meat, poultry or dairy by growing them artificially.

Genetic engineering is used in the biotechnology industry to?

synthesize hormones such as insulin and human growth harmones


How is genetic engineering used to improve livestock?

injecting growth hormones, genetically engineered in bacteria, it goes into dairy cows, it also increases their milk production.


Are there any disadvantages from genetic engineering?

genetic engineering can increase genetic diversity of species of populations, esp. those that inhabit. (domesticated animals)increase efficiency of ecosystem services by other organisms:EX. MODIFICATION OF TREES' GENES CAN INCREASE ROOT SYSTEMS OF ORGANISMS AND REDUCE DAMAGE BY FLOOD PHENOMENON THROUGH FLOOD MITIGATION.modification of DNA structure of agricultural crops can increase growth rates & resistance to different diseases caused by pathogens and parasites, and can increase production of food sources to host the world's growing populations and reduce the usage of chemicals like fertilizers and pesticides, which can decrease the risk of inbreeding which can produce infertile youths.BASICLY, I THINK GENETIC ENGINEERING IS QUITE BENEFICIAL! :) GUESS WHO I AM! :)AnswerIf you are looking for a good answer, look for a scientist who works with it. DO NOT look through websites. people have misleading information saying anti-genetic engineering things that contradict everything that is the truth. I am fully pro-genetic engineering and I know my stuff. People who make hate-sites do not have a clue so be careful.


What are the applications of genetic engineering in biotechnology?

Genetic Engineering techniques alter the chemistry of genetic material (DNA or RNA), to introduce these into host organisms and thus change the phenotype of host organisms. It has application in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used in wide range of plant, animals and micro-organisms.In medicine, genetic engineering has been used to mass produce insulin, human growth hormones.In research, organisms are genetically engineered to discover the function of certain genes.


Genetic engineering has been utilized for the production of?

C. MedicinesThe correct answer is. B. Proteins. if it's for the Penn foster testNot 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 is the treatment for Dwarfism?

The main course of therapy is growth hormone replacement therapy when there is lack of growth hormone in the body.


A plasmid that contains a gene for human growth hormone is and example of what?

A plasmid containing a gene for human growth hormone can be used in genetic engineering to produce recombinant human growth hormone. This plasmid can be introduced into host cells, such as bacteria, for the production of the hormone on a large scale.


What is the treatment for pituitary dwarfism?

Treatment for pituitary dwarfism typically involves the use of growth hormone therapy to stimulate growth and development in children. In some cases, additional hormone replacement therapy may be necessary to address specific deficiencies. Regular monitoring and close follow-up with a healthcare provider are important to ensure proper growth and development.


Where can one learn more about growth hormone therapy?

The best place to get information on growth hormone therapy is from a doctor or a nurse. Alternatively there are many medical books with can be used as a reference.


What requires growth hormone injections?

Growth hormone injections are for when you have a growth disorder, either because of a pituitary tumor or a genetic disorder.


Is human growth hormone therapy administered when the pituitary gland secretes an inadequate amount of gowth hormone?

Yes, human growth hormone therapy is typically administered when the pituitary gland secretes inadequate amounts of growth hormone, leading to conditions like growth hormone deficiency in children or adults. Supplementing with synthetic growth hormone can help to promote growth, development, and metabolism in individuals with deficient levels.


Can the lack of a growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland cause short stature?

Yes, a lack of growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland can result in short stature, known as growth hormone deficiency. This condition can occur in children and adults and may be caused by various factors, including problems with the pituitary gland itself or genetic factors. Treatment with growth hormone therapy can help to promote growth in individuals with this deficiency.

Pituitary dwarfism results from a decreased secretion of?

Growth hormone from the pituitary gland, leading to stunted growth and development, often diagnosed in childhood. Treatment can involve growth hormone therapy to help promote normal growth in affected individuals.


What are medications in turner's syndrome?

Growth hormone to increase adult height. Hormone replacement therapy is begun during adolescence and continued. People with Turner syndrome may also take medication for associated medical conditions, such as high blood pressure and thyroid conditions.


Why can't turner syndrome be treated?

Growth hormone therapy in early adolescence will help with growth and physical development. Estrogen replacement will treat sexual development for women. Results will vary from person to person.
