===About Genetic Engineering===
: In '''genetic engineering''' [[gene]]s which [[Coding DNA|code]] for the [[Protein Synthesis|synthesis]] of a specific [[protein]] can be taken from one [[organimsorganism]] and inserted into the [[DNA]] of another [[organism]].
: To '''genetically engineer''' an [[organism]] a [[gene]] is cut from the [[DNA]] of another [[organism]] using a special [[enzyme]]. The [[DNA]] of the recipient [[organism]] is then cut, the new [[gene]] is inserted and then another [[enzyme]] is used to stick the [[DNA]] back together with the new [[gene]] inside it. The [[organism]] is then encouraged to [[Reproduction|reproduce]].
: '''Genetic engineering''' can be done within a single generation. It can also introduce characteristics to an [[organism]] which are unlikely to have been able to [[Evolution by Natural Selection|evolve]] naturally.
