What is genetic engineering?????

genetic engineering is a techique used by a scientist(s) to change the DNA of living organisms.

Biologist have recently discovered enzyms that alter the genetic makeup of organisms, some of the enzyms can cut into then attach themselves to the DNA strand. Now scientists have learned to cut specific genes from the DNA strands and design customized DNA using these genes.
The major problem has occured from these customized DNA strands, Vectors, vectors are strnds of DNA such like viruses, these infiltrate the cell and insert themselves into the DNA.
