If you are vacating in the middle of the month, you may be able to negotiate with your landlord to prorate your rent based on your move out date. Under RCW 59.18.200, state law requires you to give 20 daysâ notice to vacate in writing if your lease does not end at its term.
Modern genetic technology can be used to modify the genomes of living organisms. This process is also known as âgenetic engineering.â Genes of one species can be modified, or genes can be transplanted from one species to another. Genetic engineering is made possible by recombinant DNA technology. Organisms that have altered genomes are known as transgenic. Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. For example, âknock-outâ mice are transgenic mice that have a particular gene of interest disabled.
To make recombinant DNA, scientists first extract the DNA they want to mix. The DNA can come from completely different organisms, including bacteria, plants, animals, algae or fungi.Using specialized lab techniques, scientists cut the pieces of DNA they want and paste them together to make an entirely new mix of DNA, called recombinant DNA, or rDNA (See References 1).ses for rDNA. DNA from different sources can be mixed to make disease-resistant crops, new vaccines, cures for genetic diseases, and proteins to use in the treatment of conditions such as sickle cell anemia, diabetes, certain cancers and other diseases (See References 2).
