Inbreeding: breeding of individuals with similar characteristics
Muuuu!!!
Healthy
Recombinant DNA
For DNA recombination, we need first to copy it using a process called PCR
Then, with these copies, we need to make different combinations to have as a result a transgenic organism
This makes it possible to change the genetic composition of an organism
Recombinant DNA
Later, scientist started using plasmids to insert the recombinant DNA into host cells
This was mainly to avoid the inserted DNA to vanish. They use genetic markers to control this process.
Transgenic organisms can be produced by the insertion of recombinant DNA into the genome of a host
Transgenic plants and animals may have some special traits that make them better in most aspects
Genetic engineering has a lot of applications now a days
Some examples are genetic modified crops and animals, which often bring more benefits than the normal ones.
It may also be used in health with gene therapy for treating diseases
