Product Description
In Using Genetic Technology we find out about the potential benefits and risks of technologies, such as gene therapy, which have to be balanced against one another. We learn how characteristics of living things are the combined result of a number of genes, and how scientists can alter an organism by altering its genetic make-up. We discover how it could become common practice to grow crops or rear farm animals to produce drugs and medicines, in the same way that we farm them for food, milk, or wool today.
