Genetic Engineering is the process of adding new DNA to an organism manually. DNA is a molecule which is found in the nucleus of every cell and is made up of segments A, T, G and C. Small segments of DNA are called genes. An organism may have thousands of genes.

Genetic Engineering works by physically removing a gene from one organism and inserting it into another. The genetic engineering is also used in several fields such as industrial biotechnology, agriculture, research and medicine. This type of engineering concentrates on molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, medical genetics and evolutionary biology.

Career Scope in Genetic Engineering:

To become genetic engineer, one should have bachelor degree, preferably in the branch of physical science that is, biology or chemistry or biological science. Genetic Engineering is still in developing stage in India. It is related to plants, animals, and human beings. It works to improve certain natural characteristics of plants, animals, and human beings. They try to increase resistance to diseases. Genetically, modified seeds are being used, which has resistance to diseases. Genetic engineering is humans may correct severe hereditary defects by introducing normal genes into cells. The genetic disorders can be corrected for example, if father is having bold hair, there us most probably chance that sin may also have bold hair. This may be eradicated by a genetic engineer. The career is in abroad companies to India.

The demand for genetic engineers is increasing in India and abroad. Genetic engineers are well-suited in the field of pharmaceutical, agriculture department, and medical industries.
