Research Question: “What are the economic efficiency and overall environmental benefits of commercializing Bt-Corn breeds?” “Abstract This paper discusses and evaluates the positive and negative aspects of Bt-Corn, a transgenic maize developed through genetic engineering and biotechnology methods. It also addresses controversial issues surrounding Bt-Corn, and ultimately concludes that the commercialization of Bt-Corn breeds has […]

Biotechnology has the potential to transform our lives in many positive ways, by the use of its distinct advantage of producing more predictable and more rapid results. However, there are risks involved with this new technology, but provided that it is appropriately regulated, its potential benefits outweigh its harms. Although scientists say that genetic engineering […]

Analysis- Genetic Modification (pig. 519) Angela Miracles-Lyons Every parent wants their child to be healthy. Though this is not always the case, the science behind genetic modification can improve the odds of that child being born healthy, as well as decrease the odds of the child developing diseases later in life. The image depicting an […]

The recent beings have developed the ability to communicate and engage in conversations, exchanging information and ideas. Collaboration is crucial for the survival of our ancestors as they cooperate, share knowledge, observe communal life, establish harmony, and learn from one another to adapt to their challenging surroundings. Despite the uncertainties they face, these practices have […]

Scott Deeter and Ventria faced a problem. Deeter joined Ventria in April 2002 and became its CEO due to his positive reputation in business. In this role, he assisted Dr. Raymond Rodriguez in managing various projects being undertaken by Ventria at that time. The main idea of his business was to concentrate on a few […]

Genetic engineering is an expanding technology that has the potential to bring about significant changes and advancements similar to computers and plastics. It offers benefits such as aiding farmers, enhancing food production, preserving the environment, and assisting those who are sick. Moreover, it could potentially address global hunger. However, it is essential to recognize the […]

Genetic Engineering, history and futureAltering the Face of Science Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from analytical engine, to calculator, to computer. But science, in the past, has […]

The oldest method among these techniques used to introduce new characteristics or attributes physiologically or physically is the Recombinant DNA (radar) technique, also known as gene splicing. This technique involves inserting the DNA of the desired gene onto the DNA of another organism to achieve the desired traits. In 1972, molecular biologist Paul Berg created […]

The use of animal genes to modify plant genes can pose a major problem for vegetarians. Strawberries, for instance, are genetically modified by inserting fish genes to enhance their resistance to climate conditions and extend their availability year-round. This could lead to difficulties for vegetarians in adhering to their fasting practices, potentially forcing them to […]

Biotechnology, a multidisciplinary field that heavily relies on process chemical and biochemical engineering for large-scale cultivation of microorganisms and cells, as well as their downstream processing, is considered a great blessing. It utilizes and manipulates microorganisms to improve the qualities of plants, animals, and products generated from them through techniques that modify the products. Despite […]

In previous times, genetic engineering has proven successful in modifying both crops and humans. A recent study displayed the positive effects of biotech varieties on food and fiber production within the state. The findings revealed a considerable increase of over 10 million pounds. Furthermore, it resulted in a boost of farm income by nearly $33 […]

Genetic engineering of plants (crops) Pros I Cons Less tillage needed, especially with crops containing herbicide tolerance transgress, therefore conserves fertility through minimizing soil damage through compression. I GE agriculture claims low tillage weed control: this can be achieved by ending the practice of monoculture and instead introducing proper crop rotations designed specifically to combat […]

In many years ago when the use of internet began to have a space in the world, the invention of the personal genomics gave benefits and drawbacks which nobody can foresee. During this period, the technological advancement ushered in the period of personalized medicine where the regimens of medication where customized for the biochemistry of […]

Human cloning is the process of genetically creating an exact copy of a person. It is majorly used while referring to the reproduction of tissues and cells in people. Human cloning is a contentious issue in the field of genetic engineering with some of the opponents arguing against it on ethical grounds. One such person […]

Introduction Genetically modified mosquitoes and their control to various diseases are one of the controversial topics of discussion. The majority of the authors has provided different views basing on the finding of the research performed. The argument essay builds on the article Genetically Modified Mosquitoes: What could go wrong? Written by Adrienne LaFrance. It is […]

Introduction Over the decades, science has grown by leaps and bounds. The breakthroughs in the frontier of science are evident from the prospect of cloning becoming a reality. Since the first cloned sheep, named Dolly, was created in 1996, there has been increasing interest in people to explore more about cloning and its advantage to […]

Biotechnology employs biological techniques, organisms, or systems to produce products aimed at enhancing human well-being. It integrates cellular and biomolecular methodologies to innovate technologies and products that improve both individual and global health. Biotechnology has a broad range of applications in medicine, engineering, agriculture, and other areas (Tkacz & Lange, 2004). Its procedures and processes […]

The series Orphan Black is teeming with science. The program features Tatiana Maslany who acts as the different human clones. The clones struggle through their lives to try evading Dyad Corporation. The series mainly covers biological topics like human cloning and genetic engineering. Cloning is a process in which one creates a biological copy of […]

Over time genetic engineering technology has been used to cancel the effects of what are considered the bad genes in organisms. Genetic engineering involves the addition of new DNA to an organism. The technology has been so well developed that it has been argued that through DNA modification, it is possible to regulate the traits […]
