The Cause and Effects of Gene Manipulation

In a high society, people at a higher position must possess brand clothes, designer cars, and babies that are designed immediately. This means that in the future, people with privileges will be able to choose the color of their children's eyes, the color of their hair, I.Q. Even certain aspects of personality are as simple as going to a hospital. Although it may not be true, this phenomenon appears in the near future. Despite the contrary, scientists are approaching human genetic manipulation.

By selecting organisms that have the characteristics we need, humans have manipulated the organism's gene sequence for thousands of years. Modern genetic manipulation involves scientific procedures for adding new DNA or silenced gene sequences to an organism. The ability to alter the genome of an organism is very controversial, especially if it relates to its impact on humans. Essentially, genetic manipulation is the process of manipulating the genome of an organism to produce the desired trait. In the past, this was achieved through selective breeding. Selective breeding can be explained as follows. Animals or plants naturally have desirable traits, farmers breed animals or plants and produce more organisms with that trait. Selective breeding is the reason we breed a wide variety of dogs. Selective breeding is also the reason we have cabbage, kale, broccoli, broccoli and Brussels bean sprouts

Both genetic manipulation and selective breeding are considered genetic manipulations. Because scientists themselves manipulate DNA themselves, genetic engineering leaves the power of manipulation to the hands of man. The ability to manipulate genomic and biological gene expression can be achieved by first developing tools for manipulating DNA and then developing scientists to introduce modified DNA into the genome of the organism . The first step in manipulating or designing new genes is the discovery of DNA ligase and restriction enzymes. Think about creating a modified gene as a super flashy kindergarten collage project; you need scissors and glue. Restriction enzymes are like molecular scissors that cut DNA. DNA ligase is like a molecular adhesive - they can be used to bind DNA sequences together
