Genetics Page Summary
Braches of Genetic Engineering:
- Applied Genetic Engineering
- Chemical Genetic Engineering
- Analytical Genetic Engineering
"Genetic Engineering is the science of manipulating an organism's
genes to brind about a new or improved function"
Applied Genetics is the branch of Genetic Engineering
that's responsible for cloning and transgenesis. This is the
branch that deals mainly with the replication or adaption of
an organism or G.M.O.s (Genetically Modified Organisms).
Chemical Genetic Engineering is the branch of Genetic Engineering
that maps, codes, and records most of the data from the Applied Genetics
This branch is mainly concerned with predicting how a modified organism
will interact in nature.
Analytical Genetic Engineering is the branch of Genetic Engineering
that deals with the computer models of the altered species. In other words
this branch is responsible for making sure a species will even be
able to survive under natural conditions.
Bionics Page Summary
Branches of Bionic Technology:
- Medical/ Surgical bionics
- Computer Science
"Bionics scienceis the application of biological methods and systems
found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and
modern technology"
Medica/ Surgical bionics ususally refer to prostetics and other technological
implants. Such modifications as artificial hearts and cochlear implants are
a result of this branch of Medical bionics.
Computer Science is the branch of bionic technologies that is attempting to
translate human biological resoponses into a mechanical or vitual presence.
This branch of Bionics is usually associated with Artificial Intelligence and
robots or other cybernetic organisms.
