Genetics and Genetic Engineering 

Genetic Engineering explains about the manipulation of DNA to make changes in the phenotypic characteristics of an organism. In this process a particular gene of interest (DNA) is inserted into the plasmid of bacteria or yeast cell and allows it to replicate to produce multiple copies of DNA. The greatest finding came into existence that crops that are being consumed by an insect can be protected by using recent technology called “RNA interference” (block protein translation).
