2. What is genetic engineering?
“Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology” Wikipedia.
This is completed by fusing or making hybrids of the cells. There are 4 main ways to do this
1. A vector system, which is like a vehicle for the new
2. Micro and macro injection. Macro/Micro injection is a technique that uses a very small glass pipe to manually inject new DNA/info into eggs of a different organism.

4. What is genetic engineering?
Other broad definitions of genetic engineering include…
Synthetic Biology
Stem cell research
Selective breeding in plants and animals
What is genetic engineering?

5. GMO’s in genetic engineering
Transgenic
GMO stands for genetically modified organism
Plants, animals and other organisms like bacteria and viruses that are modified for vaccinations.

6. What are the greatest advancements in genetic engineering today?

7. Genetically Modified Food

8. Bacteria that can synthesize medically useful substances
Insulin
Human Growth Hormone
Alpha interferon
a Hepatitis B Vaccine
and lots more…

9. Genetically Modified Animals

10. Concerns

11. Genetic engineering in the future
Because of our genes we can suffer from diseases. The possibility in the future. There are certain genes that can help protect against certain diseases such as AIDS or cancer, Malaria
gene therapy which involves injecting different slightly modified viruses into patients
you can go to the doctors and in similar way that you get vaccines get given a gene that helps your immune system
Genetic engineering in the future

12. Something that could happen in the foreseeable future are designer babies
It could be possible to pick the gender, eye colour or the height of your choice
This could also help to screen and prevent genetic disorders and birth defects. 
Almost like Gattaca
