Definitions
Biotechnology – any process which uses nature to develop products. Biotechnology
includes genetic engineering, transgenics, bioprospecting, and cloning.
Genetic engineering – manipulation of hereditary material, usually accompanied by
selection of a trait or property derived from manipulation through normal cellular
process.
Transgenics – organism with a genome modified by including genes from another
organism. Transgenics does not normally refer to the rearrangement of the genome
of the same organism.
Cloning – amplifying the number of a particular molecule of DNA using normal
cellular processes. Cloning an organism refers to making genetically identical copies
of the hereditary material and all cellular components.
Bioprospecting – the search for commercially valuable genetic features of flora and
fauna.
Mauri – life principles, life force.
