Wildlife is a term that does not enjoy a precise or a universally accepted definition. The term implies all things that are living outside direct human control and therefore includes those plants and animals that are not cultivated or domesticated. In its fullest meaning, wildlife encompasses insects and fungi, frogs and wild flowers, as well as doves, deer, and trees. Nonetheless, organizations concerned with wildlife generally favor the so-called higher forms ...
Biotechnology as any technique that used living organisms to make or modify a product, to improve plants or animals or to develop microorganisms for specific uses. The document focuses on the development and application of modern animal biotechnology based on new enabling techniques of animal tissue culture, genetic and protein engineering, enzyme and recombinant DNA technology, gene cloning, human and animal health, production of anti-microbial drugs, the ...
The term transgenic animal refers to an animal in which there has been a deliberate modification of the genome –the material responsible for inherited characteristics. An animal is transgenic once scientist inserts DNA from another organism. This process allows scientists to transfer beneficial genes from a different animal, bacterium, or plant Currently scientists are developing transgenic pigs, cattle, fish and poultry. Research into transgenic animals could ...
