Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering is the manipulation of an organism's DNA to create new traits or characteristics. This process involves the use of biotechnology tools like CRISPR-Cas9 to alter the genetic material of an organism, allowing for the creation of new organisms with specific desirable traits or for the modification of existing organisms to better suit their environment or serve a specific purpose. Genetic engineering has many applications, including in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology. However, there are also ethical and environmental concerns associated with the use of genetic engineering, which require careful consideration and regulation.
