Our understanding of dna and gene expression has dramatically increased over the last 50 years. describe 2 positive impacts and 2 negative impacts that the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering has had in agriculture, medicine, and human health?

Positive impacts of genetic engineering:

•New products are created such as food with higher nutrition values, drugs that are more effective and safer

•Disease prevention (“correcting” the genetic mutation, or removing disease-causing gene)

Negative impacts of genetic engineering:

•irreversible side effects, for example resistance of bacteria or introduction of viruses in human cells

•abusing like change specific traits that are not connected with diseases, create human outcomes that are ethically questionable.

c

explanation:

the backbone of the dna and rna compound is sugar phosphate.
