Genetics Notes
DANILO V. ROGAYAN JR.Faculty, Department of Natural Sciences
• Genetic engineering is the manipulation of genes of living things.
• Scientists can now insert genes from one organism into another.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO)
STEM Cells
Cloning
GMO
•Agricultural plants are one of the most frequently cited examples of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Benefits
• increased crop yields
• reduced costs for food or drug production,
reduced need for pesticides,
• enhanced nutrient composition and food
quality,
• resistance to pests and disease, greater
food security, and
• medical benefits to the world's
growing population.
What is CLONING?
Cloning
•describes the processes used to create an exactgenetic replica of another cell, tissue or organism.
First cloned organism
•A stem cell is essentially a “blank” cell, capable of becoming another more differentiated cell type in the body, such as a skin cell, a muscle cell, or a nerve cell
How do you think
genetic technologies
are changing the
society today?
Self- reflection
•Given a chance, will I
also promote, avail, do
these genetic
technologies?
