Ingeniería genética

The video tutorial explores genetic engineering, a process that allows scientists to manipulate the genetic code of organisms. It highlights the ability to transfer genes across species, such as inserting a fish protein into a plant. The tutorial discusses the potential and controversies of genetic engineering, including its use in producing human insulin through bacteria. It also covers the genetic modification of crops to improve agricultural resilience, such as drought-resistant corn and pest-resistant potatoes. The key difference between traditional breeding and genetic engineering is the ability to cross species barriers.
