In this context GE as it stands, is simply theft. The question of whether it could be of any benefit is a moot one until the many have power over the decisions of what they produce and consume. The chemical substance DioxyriboNucleicAcid that makes up genes. DNA is made up of 4 different chemical bases or letters. Chromosomes are tightly wound strands of DNA bundled together in an area in the centre of very cell known as the nucleus.
Genes are sections of DNA that act as blueprints or plans for the creation of proteins.
Proteins decide how the body is made up and develops. Human hair is made up of protein, as is haemoglobin on your blood and your fingernails. Other proteins control chemical reactions in the body. The Genome is basically all the DNA on all the Chromosomes in a cell, including all the genes. A clone is an exact genetic replica of an individual with exactly the same genes as the original - anyone who has ever succeeded in rooting a cutting from a plant has, in fact, created a clone.
