Genetic Technologies
Does artificial manipulation of DNA have the potential to change populations forever?
investigate the uses and advantages of current genetic technologies that induce genetic change
compare the processes and outcomes of reproductive technologies, including but not limited to:
artificial insemination
artificial pollination
TEXT
investigate and assess the effectiveness of cloning, including but not limited to:
whole organism cloning
gene cloning
describe techniques and applications used in recombinant DNA technology, for example:
the development of transgenic organisms in agricultural and medical applications (ACSBL087)
evaluate the benefits of using genetic technologies in agricultural, medical and industrial applications (ACSBL086)
evaluate the effect on biodiversity of using biotechnology in agriculture
interpret a range of secondary sources to assess the influence of social, economic and cultural contexts on a range of biotechnologies
