What you need to learn in this chapter
In this chapter, we will be learning about Genetic Technology. We will start by understanding Genetic Engineering, which involves modifying the genes of organisms. We will learn about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and their applications in producing genetically modified foods (GMFs) and insulin. Next, we will explore Biotechnology, which refers to the use of living organisms or their products for practical purposes. We will discuss the meaning of biotechnology and its various applications in our daily lives. By the end of this chapter, we will have a clear understanding of Genetic Technology and its significance in the field of biology.
