  3. Three dimensional computer graphics provide easy-to-understand illustration of processes and functions which are difficult to see otherwise
This program examines some of the issues raised by the potential uses and misuses of genetic technology. This program demonstrates the techniques of both ultrasound scanning and amniocentesis as well as explains genetic manipulation techniques and the potential applications of the knowledge gained from the human genome projects. The program provides a complete introduction of the following topics:
