Genetic enginering is the transfer of DNA from one organism to another. By doing this organisms can be produced that have useful traits. For example, the human gene for insulin was put into bacteria, resulting in the production of a bacteria that produced insulin as a waste product. This break through allowed us to produce large quantities of human insulin for dibetics.

∙ 14y agoGenetics is important because it helps with....
- Avoiding hereditary diseases.
- Evolution
- greater biodiversity/variation
It also improves the human race in some cases such as the latley people being born without appendix.
Hitler might have had the idea of genetics in his mind when he created his 'master race' of blue-eyed blonde hair people. Which (although horrible to say) has created a lot of biodiversity today as blue eyes are getting rarer and rarer as the green/brown eye gene takes over.
1 in 100,000 people on average have a mutation. Mutations are what cause evolution. If for example a baby was born with a natural immunity to AIDS then that would be a benificial mutation to human race. If that child grew up and had many children then eventually the gene would spread and one day all people would be immune to AIDS.
