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;
