mention any one controversy about this branch of science.
Concerns involve GM crops and whether food produced from them is safe and what impact growing them will have on the environment.
Genetic engineering
Critics have objected to the use of genetic engineering on several grounds, including ethical, ecological and economic concerns. Many of these concerns involve GM crops and whether food produced from them is safe and what impact growing them will have on the environment.
what is the purpose for each of the following important techniques used in genetic engineering To change the genetic makeup of cells what is the definition of this branch of science? Direct manipulation of an organism's genes using biotechnology. what are the steps involved to execute this engineering process? Either isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using recombinant DNA methods or by artificially synthesising the DNA. what are the materials and equipment needed to carry out this engineering process? The gene is separated by using restriction enzymes to cut the DNA into fragments to amplify up the gene segment, which can then be extracted through gel electrophoresis. what are some of the things manufactured using this technique? Has applications in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms.

Genetic engineering [SEP] Controversy
Critics have objected to the use of genetic engineering on several grounds, including ethical, ecological and economic concerns. Many of these concerns involve GM crops and whether food produced from them is safe and what impact growing them will have on the environment. These controversies have led to litigation, international trade disputes, and protests, and to restrictive regulation of commercial products in some countries. Accusations that scientists are "playing God" and other religious issues have been ascribed to the technology from the beginning. Other ethical issues raised include the patenting of life, the use of intellectual property rights, the level of labeling on products, control of the food supply and the objectivity of the regulatory process.
