sidebarA. Genetic engineering (GE) is the modification of an organismâs genetic composition by artificial means, often involving the transfer of specific traits, or genes, from one organism into a plant or animal of an entirely different species.hen gene transfer occurs, the resulting organism is called transgenic or a GMO (genetically modified organism). Genetic engineering is different from traditional cross breeding, where genes can only be exchanged between closely related species.
Short for high definition-DVD, a generic term for the technology of recording high-definition video on a DVD. In general, HD-DVD is capable of storing between two and four times as much data as standard DVD. The two most prominent competing technologies are Blu-ray and AOD.
No, the Blu-Ray discs, like the HD DVD discs are read from a blue laser diode. Whereas regular DVDs accept the red laser diode. However, If you buy a Blu-Ray player or an HD DVD player, they can play their respective formats, and they all can also play the regular DVDs.lu-ray players can play and upscale DVDs however. The same applies to HD DVDs, where HD DVDs can only be played on an HD DVD player. The only manufacturer of HD DVD players is Toshiba, where during the recent black Friday went as low as $99 (albeit 1080i only).
