GCSE Biology - Genetic Engineering #82

The video explains genetic modification, where genes from one organism are transferred to another to develop desired traits. It covers applications like genetically engineered sheep and bacteria, and modified crops. Gene therapy is discussed as a potential treatment for genetic disorders, though it faces challenges. The pros and cons of genetically modified crops are explored, highlighting benefits like increased food production and concerns about health and ecological impacts. The process of gene transfer using vectors is also explained.
