Living beings depend on each other. We, the people depend of animals and animals depend of plants. Everything is connected and everything comes full circled. The biggest problem of the planet on which we live is a slight change in climate. Some studies say that the old civilization of Mayan failed precisely

produce biological products. It is a manipulation of genes that allows scientists to put genes from one organism into another organism. Plants - You may not realize it, but plants are a big part of Genetic Engineering. Farmers use many techniques to insert genes from different organism around the world to help increase crop yield and to boost up proteins inside the plant. Animals - Animals are a really good way for scientists to learn about Genetic Engineering. But not only that, animals are a

weathering of rocks, the types of soil that form, and the rate of soil formation. These changes directly affect human health. Climate disruptions that affect agriculture have been increasing and are projected to become more severe over this century. These interruptions are due to extreme weathering events. Since climate change is predicted to have more negative impacts of crops and livestock across the country, a trend that could ultimately and drastically diminish the security of our natural food supply.

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
