Genetic Engineering

Since the first studies and manipulations of Mendel and his laws of "heredity", a good deal of research has been done on what every living organism is composed of. In 1951, three scientists discovered the key factor of this research: deoxyribonucleic acids, or DNA. This is the material which carries the hereditary instructions (the "blueprint") which determines the formation of all living organisms. Genes, the organizers of inheritance, are composed of DNA. Several years ago this science revealed the magnitude of its scope with the discovery of the whole universal genetic code. That is to…
