Genetic engineering is the term applied to techniques that alter the genes
(hereditary material) or combination of genes in an organism. The cells of all living
organisms contain genes. Genes carry chemical information that determines the
organism’s characteristics. By changing an organism’s genes, scientists can give
the organism and its descendants different traits.
Genetic engineering has important uses in fields such as medicine, industry and
agriculture. By using different techniques, scientists can test DNA isolated from
cells of unborn babies to learn whether the babies will have a disease.
