Title: Biotechnology
Format: Video
Year Produced: 1995
Length: 28 minutes
Distributor: National Geographic Society
Description: Biotechnology ranks among the most fascinating and controversial of applied
sciences. Using biotechnology, genes - the very codes of life - can be moved, changed, turned
off, or even taken out of cells. While farmers have long engaged in a rudimentary and indirect
sort of genetic manipulation - selectively breeding their livestock and crops - what makes
biotechnology so profoundly different is that it allows for the direct manipulation and movement
of single genes across species barriers that separates different kinds of living organisms...This
video lays the groundwork for informed discussion on the controversial topics of biotechnology,
with basic information on the biology of plants and animals and the science of genetics. (Comes
with Teacher's Guide)
