The loss of a few does not harm the fetus . is the use , and especially the alteration , of organisms , cells , or biological molecules to produce food , drugs , or other goods . Modern generates altered genetic material by genetic engineering . frequently involves the production of recombinant DNA by combining DNA from different organisms . When DNA is transferred from one organism to another , the recipients are called of ( ) . Major applications of modern include increasing our understanding of gene function , treating disease , improving agriculture , and solving crimes . occurs naturally through processes such as sexual reproduction ; bacterial transformation , in which bacteria acquire DNA from plasmids or other bacteria ; and , in which viruses incorporate fragments of DNA from their hosts and transfer the fragments to members of the same or other species . Specific regions of very small quantities of DNA , such as might be obtained at a crime scene , can be amplified by the . The most common regions used in forensics are ( ) . The pattern of STRs , called a , can be used to match DNA found at a crime scene with DNA from suspects with extremely high accuracy .
