infoWhy this? Recombinant DNA technology shows how DNA can be modified and transferred to produce useful proteins or alter characteristics. Studying these techniques alongside DNA analysis enables us to evaluate applications in medicine, agriculture, and identification, including their benefits, limitations, and ethical implications.

scheduleWhy now? DNA structure, enzyme action, and the recent study of gene expression provide the basis for understanding how genes are isolated, transferred, and expressed in host cells. We can now apply molecular knowledge to biotechnology and critically assess the evidence behind its uses.
