Due to more and more technological advances in genetic engineering, gene splicing, DNA fingerprinting, and mapping, breakthroughs in the agricultural productivity are being made. This new DNA technology allows scientists to do things such as increase food production, reduce the plant’s dependency on pesticides and other harmful chemicals, reduce costs for raw materials, improve the practices of farmers, and improve the overall quality of the environment. One advance is the technique of DNA fingerprinting and mapping. DNA fingerprinting is ....
