⚫️ What is Genetic Engineering?
Genetic Engineering is the process of altering a DNA structure by either adding or removing genes from it to form a newer gene framework with desirable characteristics. It can be applied to both animals and plants since both are living organisms with their own DNA structures. The resultant organism is often called a GMO, a genetically modified organism.

⚫️ Variations of Genetic Engineering
The first variant has the original DNA structure of an organism fused with some foreign genes to introduce newer characteristics or features in the resultant GMO. For example, plant genes are often fused with certain germicidal cells to facilitate long-term growth. The second type features the removal of certain genes from a DNA structure to eliminate certain behaviour or characteristics that may be unwanted in the GMO. For example, removing a particular gene or enzyme from a species reduces its chances of falling prey to cancerous tumours.

⚫️ Applications of Genetic Engineering
◻️ Genetic Engineering technology is widely used to modify crop plants' genotypes to increase their productivity, nutritional value, protein content, resistance to disease, and fertilizer usage. High-yielding grain, pulse, and vegetable crops can be produced using recombinant DNA technology and tissue culture techniques.
◻️ It is possible to generate large quantities of important medications, vaccines, enzymes, and hormones at minimal cost by manipulating microorganisms and plant-based materials. Vaccines created with gene cloning technology do not possess any contaminants and are completely safe.
◻️ Energy crops or biofuels that produce large amounts of biomass that may be turned into fuel, oils, alcohols, diesel, or other petroleum products can now be bioengineered to grow rapidly. These wastes can then be converted into energy.

Do we take the gene from an alive human or do we take it after they're dead??

I thought genetic engineering would be a great deal to me by looking at the chapters of my book, but it this man made it as easy as ABC mean to me I need teachers like him in my lecture hall bro should be subscribed <3

It's very easy I understand in 10 mint sir thank you so much for explain in detail ❤❤😊

[Pawan-knowlagle_Scientific-]

Please sir explain in Hindi I like its

Mouse, since they are mostly used in scientific experiments
