Introduction  The crops whose genes have been modified in some way or the other are generally known as genetically modified crops.  Bt crops are regarded as transgenic crops because they secrete the same toxin  as that produced by the bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (short form is Bt), in the cells of plants, protecting them from various […]

In 1996, Genetically Modified (GM) Crops were planted in six countries, according to the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute. The number of nations that use genetically modified crops climbed to 25 in 2009. It will be the 24th year since biotech crops were first commercialised, and the number of countries that grow genetically modified crops

Genetic engineering is a technique in which genetic material is manipulated in order to alter the properties of an organism.  Despite the fact that the hypoglycaemic potency of genetically modified insulin is identical to that of purified swine insulin, it has been shown to have a lesser effect on counterregulatory hormones.  The primary advantage of

Genetic modification is a branch of genetics that involves modifying or replacing certain genes in an organism’s DNA. Genetic modification may be used to manufacture brewing yeasts, cancer medicines, genetically modified crops and livestock, and a variety of other things in the agricultural, industrial, chemical, pharmaceutical, and medical sectors. The sole need is that the

Genetic engineering refers to the use of biotechnology to directly manipulate an organism’s DNA. It encompasses a multitude of techniques for altering the genetic material of cells. It includes a gene transfer inside and between different species, in order to create better or novel organisms. New DNA is created by extracting and duplicating the genetic

Genetic engineering, additionally referred to as genetic change or genetic manipulation, is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genes by the use of biotechnology. It is a set of technology used to alter the genetic make-up of cells, along with the transfer of genes inside and across species boundaries to produce improve or novel organisms.

Introduction Genes contain information about different characters and characteristics of living beings. Genetic information is passed down through the generations in the form of code. It determines an organism’s characteristics, for instance, whether it is a bacterium or a human. The genetic code one possesses controls the entire life process. We shall learn about genetic

In 1878, Wilhelm Kuhne coined the term “enzyme.” Enzymes are macromolecules that are extremely precise in their function. Enzymes are required for all metabolic activities in our bodies because they catalyse reactions at a quicker rate. In contrast to catalysts, enzymes are naturally created by living cells. In the presence of extreme heat, the enzyme’s

Gene therapy is a treatment method that involves adding, deleting, or correcting genetic material to cure a condition. The way a protein, or a collection of proteins, is made by a cell may be altered by modifying genetic material. To put it another way, gene therapy tries to modify the quantity or kind of protein

Introduction Gene therapy is the process of modifying the genes contained within your body’s cells in an attempt to treat or prevent disease. Genes contain your DNA, which is the genetic code that regulates many aspects of your body’s structure and function, from making you grow taller to managing your body’s internal organs. Genes that
