Genetic Engineering and their critical effect on humanity

Extract

[...] Gramulocyte colony-stimulating factor, also known as G-CSF, provides an example of this. G-CSF is a hormone used to increase the production of protein. The protein hormone causes an increases in the production of the phagocytic white blood cells that are instrumental in the defense against infections of bacterial nature, also known as granulocytes. (Anderson) This provides a basic concept of protein production. The primary aim is to cause the maximum production of the protein. Therapeutic Cloning assists in treating health conditions or diseases. Therapeutic cloning involves a simple process. [...]

[...] (Fresco) Bioengineered, genetically modified organisms (GMO) and transgenic are also terms used to describe the crop. The USDA includes seeds and additional substances created through genetic modification in this category. (Fresco) Few genetically modified crops are allowed to be sold in the United States. Research reveals 19 plant species approved to be commercially grown. However, there are only 8 plants actively grown in the United States. The crops have been modified to include a higher resistance to insects and maintain a higher tolerance of herbicides. [...]

[...] Research reveals the multiple subtopics of Genetic Engineering and their critical effect on humanity. What is Genetic Engineering? In order to fully understand the impact of genetic engineering the term must be fully defined. Genetic Engineering is a manual process. New DNA is added to an organism through the process. (McCreath) Before the procedure the organism lacks a certain trait. By adding the new DNA, new traits are developed. Basic concepts of biology are instrumental in further explaining genetic engineering. [...]

[...] Reproductive cloning to create new animals. Reproductive cloning is the most revolutionary form of genetic engineering. It is currently used to create new animals. Reproductive cloning occurs when the production of a genetic duplicate of an existing organism takes place. (Baguisi) There are multiple techniques utilized for reproductive cloning. Somatic cell nuclear transfer is the techniques used most often. Through this techniques, the nucleus of a body cell is placed inside an egg that's nucleus has been removed. The result is a clonal embryo, triggered to start developing through the utilization of chemicals or electricity. [...]
