Biotechnologies and genetic modification have change into instruments that assist velocity up the variation course of or create fully new varieties and artificial environments. Because of the synthesis of those organic and technological parts, the boundaries of existence have expanded – a brand new species has appeared “bionic organism’able to simulating the traits of life: respiratory, growth, adaptation.
