Genetic Engineering : Formation of Recombinant DNA
animal, cloning would allow the researchers to make as many copies of the “new” animal as desired in a
shorter amount of time. These processes are types of biotechnology—the use of living organisms, such as yeast or bacteria, to serve human needs. Some traditional forms of biotechnology are bread making and beer making. These procedures use yeast to make products for human consumption. Cheese, vinegar, and wine are also products of this traditional science. Some scientists see genetic engineering as a natural extension of these older forms of biotechnology.
But this sophisticated technology raises many controversial issues. Because of its many applications, different fields of biotechnology have their own unique issues. The questions that arise from the development of new plants and animals are different from those related to human life or the environment. A careful consideration of each of these fields will enable people to think about how to use this technology for the progress of humankind, and how to avoid its potential perils.
The new hybrid molecule, called recombinant DNA, has
genetic properties that differ from the original DNA pieces.
By iwicrting new DNA into an organism, scientists can
change the organism’s physical traits.
