Summary/Abstract |
Explains why genetic engineers aim to alter genes, transfer genes from one organism to another and how they do this. It looks at how genetic engineering has led to the development of designer plants and the creation of transgenic animals to aid the study of human diseases. Also looks at gene therapy and the controversial areas of stem cell research and cloning.

Series |
Cells and Life
|
Summary/Abstract |
Examines how cells work together to form the huge range of plants and fungi around us. Looks at the typical structure of a plant cell, the way in which this differs from an animal cell and shows how plant cells are specialized to carry out specific jobs.
|
Contents |
Different cells for different jobs: plant cells
The plant body: simple tissues, complex tissues, the epidermis
Stems: woody stems
Looking at leaves: food factories, photosynthesis, leaf specialisations
Roots
A new generation: sexual reproduction, flowers, pollination and fertilisation, seeds and germination
Fungi: Spores, more spores and buds, Fungal partnerships
The plant kingdom a summary
