Human Manipulations of Genetic Transfer and its Biological Implications For years, humans have been able to manipulate the alleles in animals for favourable traits through the use of selective breeding. But, now that technology has become so advanced, humans have developed a new process of manipulating the gene transfer through transgenesis, where scientists can create new alleles in animals. This essay shows how the selective breeding method and transgenesis method are carried out on the…
