· 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 is the significance study of modern technology?
There are a lot of studies that are significant with regard to modern technology. One major study is the impact of advanced technology on society.
What is the agricultureal revolution?
Based on new higher-yeilding strains of grain and other crops developed in laboratories using modern day technology and genetic engineering.
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.
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.
Could modern man been the result of genetic engineering?
There is currently no scientific evidence to support the idea that modern humans are the result of genetic engineering by extraterrestrial beings or other advanced civilizations. The evolutionary history of humans can be traced through fossil records, genetic studies, and anthropological evidence, showing that humans evolved over millions of years from common ancestors with other primates.
