The Genetic
1999
The site we have devellopped is about genetic.
It explained what is this science which is very young.
We have built the site as clear as could so that everybody can easily consult it.
We thus give the bases which are needed to understand the importance of genetic applications; what is DNA, a gene? How an individual's growth is controlled by its gene pool? What define an organism, what ensure its uniqueness? What cause genetic diseases and how researchers try to prevent it from occuring ?
Further more, this site is also an overview of the possible applications of genetic. Indeed judges resort more and more to genetic to carry out their investigation but not not solely them. Scientist could prevent endangeried species from disappearing by mean of genetic; they could "produce" new animals from a single one.
Food industry also turn to genetic to improve their product; to give them new characteristics.
