Worksheet B3g 5 Genetic engineering Your aim is to produce a PowerPoint presentation about genetic engineering. Try to cover the following points: describe some examples of genetic engineering such as vitamin A and carrots, human insulin, improving crops; explain the advantages of genetic engineering; explain the disadvantages of genetic engineering; explain how genetic engineering is similar to selective breeding; explain how genetic engineering is different from selective breeding; decide whether or not selective breeding has similar advantages and disadvantages; Extension Include in your presentation: how genes are transferred from one organism to another; the moral and ethical issues of genetic modification; a debate on whether or not the benefits outweigh the moral and ethical issues; Start by carrying out an Internet search and place any useful information into a word processing document. Then start your PowerPoint presentation. Make it colourful and include diagrams and pictures. Look at this website to get you started: http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu/features/gmfoods/
