Genetically Modified Animals Animals with special characteristics and traits have been cross breed through sexual reproduction for many years, but with the increasing of technology, scientists can now create animals directly from gene modification. Genetic modification is described as the science used to change the characteristics of an organism genetic component and manipulate the deoxyribonucleic acid structures using technology. “Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is nucleic acid that carries hereditary

Introduction Prenatal development refers to a series of development stages that begins from the fertilization of the egg by the sperm cell to the onset of birth process. It begins with the formation of the zygote to the development of the fetus. It involves three major stages namely, germinal stage, embryonic stage and fetal stage. (Balinsky, 1975) The developmental stages take place partly in the fallopian tube and in the uterus. It usually takes a period of nine month in human being but varies

paper will explore historical development and the effects of GMO on society and technology. Genetically modified organisms ( GMO’s) is a term most commonly used to refer to crop plants created for human or animal consumption using the latest biotechnology techniques. These plants have been modified in the laboratory to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or improved nutritional content. The enhancement of desired traits has traditionally been undertaken through breeding
