📖 1. Genetic Engineering Definition

🔑 Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Genetic Engineering: The direct manipulation of an organism’s genes using biotechnological methods to alter or introduce specific traits.

  • Recombinant DNA Technology: A technique that combines DNA from different sources to create new genetic combinations, often used to produce desired proteins or traits.

  • Gene Cloning: The process of making multiple identical copies of a specific gene, typically for research, medical, or agricultural purposes.

  • CRISPR-Cas9: A precise gene-editing tool that uses a guide RNA and the Cas9 enzyme to target and modify specific DNA sequences within an organism’s genome.

  • Transgenic Organisms: Organisms that have been genetically modified to carry genes from other species, often to confer beneficial traits.

  • Gene Therapy: A medical technique that involves inserting, altering, or removing genes within an individual’s cells to treat or prevent disease.
