What Is Genetic Engineering?

• Modifying DNA:

Scientists change the genetic code of living things

• Done by Scientists

Experts use special tools in laboratories

• Used to Solve Problems

Helps fix environmental challenges we face

Genetic Engineering Tools

01

DNA sequencingReading the DNA code to understand genes and how they work.

02

PCRCopies DNA very quickly, making millions of copies in laboratories.

03

CRISPR-Cas9Edits DNA like molecular scissors, cutting specific genes with precision.

genetic engineering techniiques

Cloning is a technique used to produce an exact genetic copy of a cell, gene, or organism from an original one.

Cloning

Recombinant DNA technology

Is a technique used to combine genetic material from two or more different organisms to create new DNA sequences with desired trait

Improved Resource Efficiency

Enhanced Crop Resistance

Improved Resource Efficiency

Crops engineered for drought tolerance and poor soil, conserving water and land.

Genetically modified crops resist pests and diseases, reducing pesticide use.

Sustainable Biofuel Production

Bioremediation Solutions

Microorganisms engineered to break down pollutants and clean up oil spills.

Optimized plants for efficient biofuel production, reducing fossil fuel reliance.

Genetically Modified Crops

Pest resistant

Plants fight off insects naturally without chemicals.

Less pesticides

Farmers spray fewer harmful chemicals on crops.

Better for the environment

Cleaner soil, water, and air for everyone.

BIOREMEDIATION

Scientists use modified bacteria to clean up environmental damage like oil spills and toxic waste.

Pollution Detected

Pollution Cleaned

Release Bacteria

Bacteria eat harmful substances

Engineered to break down toxins

Targets major environmental disasters

Fighting Climate Change

Plants Absorb More CO₂

Reduce Greenhouse Gases

Help Slow Climate Change

Modified plants capture extra carbon dioxide from the air

Less harmful gases released into the atmosphere

Technology working to protect our planet's future

PROTECTING BIODIVERSITY

Help endangered species:Genetic tools can save animals at risk of extinction. Increase genetic diversity: Strengthens populations by adding healthy genes. Support conservation: Works alongside traditional conservation efforts.
