There are teenagers and baby boomers, hipsters and emo kids. A new crop of machismo-challenged heroesâcall them the âemoâ super-dudesâis headed for screens next year. But despite all the chatter about Weezer's influenceâabout nerd rock, or emo, or whateverâI don't really hear it.
Genetic engineering refers to the direct manipulation of DNA to alter an organismâs characteristics (phenotype) in a particular way. Genetic engineering, sometimes called genetic modification, is the process of altering the DNA in an organismâs genome.
The way GMOs are created disrupts the plantâs DNA in unintended, potentially harmful ways. In genetic engineering, a single gene is removed from one organism and forcibly inserted into another. First, scientists identify the gene they want and analyze its sequence.
