Summary Introduction

To tell:

The reason why the scientists who work with recombinant DNA do not know all the long-term effects of their work.

Introduction:

The recombinant DNA technology involves the isolation of genetic materials (DNA) from donor organisms (human, plant, or microorganism) and the insertion of them into recipient organisms after genetic manipulation. This technology is used to introduce genetically modified organism (GMO). The main goals of this technology are as follows: (i) elimination of undesirable phenotypic traits in organisms, (ii) creation of new organisms by combining two or more beneficial traits of donor organisms, and (iii) synthesis of beneficial products by the new organism for human need.
