    A sneak-peek into the past, present and future of various technologies which have changed the course of the world. A joy to watch, Tech Pro is a series which helps understanding the how’s and what’s of technology and how it affects our life in different ways. A peep into the fascinating world of Genes and the miracles arising from them. Learn all about the remarkable breakthroughs with Gene technology and see the wonders a DNA strand can achieve. Titles in this DVD: 1. Gene Technology Duration: 30 minutes This program is about gene technology - the actual techniques used by the scientists producing remarkable breakthroughs in areas like health, agriculture and forensics. The following techniques are covered in depth: polymerase chain reactions; gel electrophoresis; DNA sequencing (in two parts); and genetic modification of organisms. The program focuses on three examples of this technology in action - Menkes' disease research (health); transgenic pasture grass research (agriculture); and police forensic work. Footage and expert comment from these working labs along with detailed graphics bring clarity to this difficult subject. 2. Genes and Cloning Duration: 28 minutes There is a lot of controversy around genetic modification of organisms and cloning. This program looks at the way man has modified genomes of plants and animals used for food since the dawn of agriculture. As knowledge of cells and genetics has increased, so has man's ability to alter genomes. Animations show how genetic engineers are now able to construct and insert genes for desirable characteristics into plants and how technology is used to increase numbers of animals with desirable traits and screen out those with disease or lower food yields. 3. Genes and Inheritance Duration: 32 minutes It was in the latter half of the 19th century that Gregor Mendel paved the way for the study of Genetics. This program starts with Mendel, and introduces a number of important concepts, principles and definitions that form the basis of the modern understanding of genetics and inheritance. It covers the use of Punnet Squares for predicting the outcome of monohybrid and dihybrid crosses, and looks at gene linkage, sex linkage, and crossing over. The use of a Pedigree Analysis is a particularly useful way to trace how certain traits are passed down generations, and this program introduces Pedigree Analyses using examples of autosomal and sex-linked inheritance. 4. Genetics and Heredity Duration: 19 minutes This film explains the following: • Structure of DNA • The processes of mitosis and meiosis • Difference between pure and hybrid traits • Recessive and dominant genes • Common genetic disorders • Importance of genetics in medicine and biotechnology Who can benefit from Iken Pro?
