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.
Next. Genetic engineering can be used to create organisms that produce large amounts of useful substances-for example, bacteria can be engineered to produce human insulin to treat diabetics. Genetic engineering can also be used to create and store DNA fingerprints, which can be used for identification purposes.enetic engineering involves altering the genetic code [genetic code: The universal code that DNA or mRNA in every living organism uses to carry information about the sequences of amino acids in its proteins.] of an organism by inserting a gene [gene: The basic unit of genetic material inherited from our parents.
