    AmirAshkan Semyary By using the techniques of genetic engineering scientists are able to modify genetic materials so that a particular gene of interest from one cell can be incorporated into a different cell. It is necessary to obtain a gene to modify genetic material. First a scientist isolates plasmid DNA from bacteria and DNA carrying a gene of interest from cells of another organism‚ such as an animal. A piece of DNA containing the gene is inserted into a plasmid‚ producing recombinant DNA

    Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung disease that makes breathing difficult. It is progressive which means it gets worse over time if left untreated. In COPD‚ less air flows in and out of the airways because of one of the following: the airways and air sacs lose their elastic quality‚ the walls between many of the air sacs are destroyed‚ the walls of the airways become thick and inflamed and/ or the airways make more mucus than usual. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/copd/

    Genetic Engineering is a scientific process that has recently come a long way. Within the past four years of the twentieth century we have witnessed the most rapid adoption of a new technology in history. Millions of acres of farmland have been planted with genetically engineered crops since 1996. The crops consist mainly of corn‚ soybeans‚ and cotton. Genetic engineering techniques allow scientists to insert specific genes into plants and/or animals. Also‚ species are very easily crossed using genetic
