Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Genetically modified bees should be released in the environment to save the lives that are lost each year due to bee sting allergies, is to be discussed.
Concept Introduction:
Genetic engineering can be explained as the alteration of an organism’s genetic makeup to eliminate undesirable characteristics or to introduce desirable ones.
A lot of work has been done in genetic engineering with the focus on increasing plant and animal food production, diagnosing disease conditions, and production of vaccines and other useful drugs.
