What is gene therapy?
The transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders.
How could a mutation be corrected in the future?
Surgery that could get rid of a mutation.
What is the definition for genome?
All of the genetic information, all of the hereditary material possessed by an organism.
How much would ones individual human genome cost?
1,000 dollars.
In the near future, what would you use your genome for?
You would use it to make decisions about nutrition, surgery, and drugs.
What is the Personal Genome Project trying to accomplish?
They are trying to figure out to what extent genes combine with the environment.

What is Genetic Engineering?
The transplantation of normal genes into cells in place of missing or defective ones in order to correct genetic disorders.
How can new DNA be inserted into the host genome?
New DNA may be inserted in the host genome by first isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence, or by synthesizing the DNA, and then inserting this construct into the host organism. Genes may be removed using a nuclease.
What is an organism that has been generated through genetic engineering called?
A genetically modified organism.
