Genetic Engineering: Applications and Concerns

The video tutorial explains genetic engineering, a process of modifying an organism's genome to introduce desirable traits. It covers the stages of genetic engineering, including gene extraction and transfer. Applications in agriculture, such as GM crops for increased yield and disease resistance, are discussed, along with potential impacts on biodiversity and human health. The tutorial also explores medical applications, like insulin production, and gene therapy for inherited disorders, highlighting ethical concerns.
