The pros of DNA technology involves the ability to insert particular traits in a species, production of artificial DNA, artificial production of important proteins and hormones, and DNA screening to detect hereditary disorders. The cons are; extinction of wild species caused by the rapid reproduction rate of artificial species, a process called genetic pollution, artificially produced species may show weaknesses, and the created species may carry new diseases.

What are the pros and cons of integrating DNA microarray or chip technology into the forensic DNA laboratory?
no profit to answer
What are the pros and cons of DNA fingerprinting?
me
What are the pros and cons of gel electrophoresis?
Pros: The detection of DNA, RNA and proteins can be done using gel electrophoresis. Gel electrophoresis does not require a large amount of starting material. Cons: difficult to extract samples for further analysis. Harmful materials.
What is difference between recombinant DNA technology and Polymerase chain reaction?
r DNA technology is technology of creating new combination of DNA. While pcr is one of techniques used in r DNA technology for amplification of perticuler DNA fragment
When did DNA Plant Technology end?

What is Pros and cons of using DNA microarray?
I am a grad student taking a workshop in DNA microarray. I just started - so I am by no means an expert, but here is what I know so far. Pros Microarray technology is amazing in that it can be used to figure out which genes in an ENTIRE genome are upregulated or downregulated between two treatments. For example, if one treatment consisted of absolutely normal non cancerous prostate tissue, and the other treatment consisted of cancerous prostate tissue, you would be able to tell which genes are differentially expressed - an extremely powerful research tool. Cons The results cannot be taken as absolute fact, because they are partially a result of the manipulation of statistics. They must be corroborated afterwards with in vitro or in vivo experiments. It is REALLY expensive. Hope this helps!
Why was the discovery of restriction enzymes important to recombinant DNA technology?
Recombinant DNA technology requires fragments of DNA from the source genome. Using crude methods such as mechanical shearing, we get random fragments of DNA, and their sequence is unknown. Restriction enzymes are specific in site recognition and cutting and their discovery lead to proper fragments of DNA which have some known sequences.
How does DNA technology transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell?
DNA technology will transfer bacteria genes from cell to cell.
What career combines DNA technology and medicine?
Pharmaceuticals combine DNA technology and medicine.
