Rediscovering biology. Genetically modified organisms. [Session 13]
Description
Session 13. Genetically Modified Organisms. While genetic modification of organisms has occurred for millennia, we now have the tools to insert specific genes from one organism into cells of unrelated species. This session illustrates the processes used and how such genetically transformed organisms are increasingly common in agriculture, industry, and medicine, and introduces the ethical considerations of GMO research.
