· Genetic engineering may be one of the greatest breakthroughs in recent history alongside the discovery of the atom and space flight, however, with the above eventualities and facts above in hand, governments have produced legislation to control what sort of experiments are done involving genetic engineering. In the UK there are strict laws prohibiting any experiments involving the cloning of humans. However, over the years here are some of the experimental 'breakthroughs' made possible by genetic engineering.
What else can I help you with?
What is the 3rd agricultural revolution?
Based on new higher-yeilding strains of grain and other crops developed in laboratories using modern day technology and genetic engineering.
Can you Relate bioethics to the continued development of genetic engineering techniques?
Bioethics is the study of ethical issues related to DNA technology. Many scientists and nonscientists are involved in identifying and addressing any ethical, legal, and social issues that may arise as genetic engineering techniques continue to be developed.

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 the impact of modern technology today?
Modern Technology change everything. The impossible before is made possible because of the modern technology. The difficult before now became so easy.
What school did Charles strite go to?
Charles Strite, the inventor of the modern pop-up toaster, attended the Armour Institute of Technology in Chicago, which is now known as the Illinois Institute of Technology. He studied engineering and mechanical design, which likely influenced his innovative toaster design.
What is the agricultureal revolution?

Who is the father of modern biotechnology?
Paul Berg is often credited as the father of modern biotechnology for his pioneering work in recombinant DNA technology. His research laid the foundation for modern genetic engineering techniques and the development of biotechnological applications.

What cell structure is an important agent in modern genetic engineering techniques?
The cell structure that is important in modern genetic engineering techniques is the nucleus. Within the nucleus, the DNA of the cell is located, containing the genetic information that can be manipulated through techniques like gene editing to introduce or modify specific traits.
What knowledge that modern scientists now use to explain how variation occurs did Darwin's lack?
The ability to read, modify, and transform DNA is what past scientists did not have. Genetic engineering is another factor that Darwin could not explain. These are all modern scientific breakthroughs with that help of modern technology that Darwin lacked.

What is modern biotechnology?
Modern biotechnology is the term used to describe a range of processes and techniques especially at the molecular level. Examples of biotechnology applicationsof particular interest to the Department include cell culture, genomics, molecular marker-assisted breeding, cloning, bioprocessing and diagnostic testing as well as gene technology (genetic modification).
Taking a single gene from one species and transferring it to another species is an example of?
This type of genetic modification is very useful in modern society. We use genetically engineered products often. Insulin is an example and it is produced in a similar manner as described by the above question.
Which cloning vector was first discovered?
pBR322 was the first cloning vector to be discovered in 1977. It was instrumental in the development of modern genetic engineering techniques.
Define bio technology?
Biotechnology is the use of living systems and organisms to develop or make useful products, and it is usually seen in agriculture, food production and medicine production. Modern use of similar terms includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies.
What is the implication of technology genetic engineering to a modern man?
Imagine this, everyone you know is formulated in a tube and genetically engineered to have certain qualities about that baby like how tall he or she will be, color of the hair, color of the eyes, restraint to certain diseases, improved heart and lungs. Every parent wants their kids to be the best but when you start to play god then everyone will be the same and their is nothing better in this world then to be different that is what makes us human. Read the book Big Brother or see the movie Glacteca and then tell me what you think about people being the same.
