Understanding Genetic Technology
Genetic technology is a field of biology involving the study and modification of genes made of DNA. By altering genetic material, scientists can improve specific traits, develop medicines like insulin and vaccines, and create high-yield, pest-resistant crops. It must be used responsibly due to ethical and safety concerns.

Ethics & safety
Core Concepts
Short, clear theory for Class 10.
Genetic Technology
Tools used to study, copy, or change DNA to solve problems or improve traits.
Genetic Engineering
Directly adding, removing, or changing genes to produce specific outcomes.
CRISPR (basic idea)
A precise tool that cuts DNA at a chosen spot so changes can be made carefully.
Medical Uses
Producing insulin, testing genetic diseases, and studying how genes cause illness.
Agricultural Uses
GM crops can resist pests, reduce chemical use, and improve yield responsibly.
Ethics & Safety
Research needs approval, consent, and long-term safety checks for people and nature.
