“Bioluminescence tree using fireflies’ DNA”
the environment.
Seeing a bioluminescence tree on the
streets is not impossible nowadays. Using
biotechnology in such matters is a great idea that
makes a great help to the environment.
There are some articles which support
these issues:

Objectives:
 To replace the street lights with
this glow in the dark trees using
more efficient materials.
 To reduce the use of energy and
electricity in the streets.
 To provide more efficient lights in
the isolated areas.
 To support reforestation that helps
Methodology
In this research, the items in the
articles is studied by analyzing problems
of society and finding its solution using
biotechnology. The researchers believe
that biotechnology can used to provide
lights bright enough to illuminate the
entire streets.
Phenomenology is the research
design that was used to discuss how to be
able to make this idea.
The proponents collect data by
getting DNA sample of a jellyfish and
fireflies as well as the trees.
The research strategy is combining
the DNA of jellyfish or fireflies and trees
to produced bioluminescence seeds. The
research involves a systematic process
that focuses on being objective in
gathering information so that the
researchers can come up to a conclusion.
Data Interpretation
Since the process of bacterial
glowing was discovered, scientists have
tried to apply it to other organisms as
well. One example of this is Green
Fluorescence Proteins (GFPs). GFPs are
used by scientists to tell if experiments
involving gene exchanges have worked.
The genes for GFPs are included when suggests the importance of studying the
scientists insert other genes into an biology as well as monitoring the changes
organism’s DNA. If the organism glows better have good street lights and to save
after these genes were inserted, then electricity consumption.
scientists know that the insertion was
successful. Ninety percent of deep-sea
marine life is estimated to produce
bioluminescence in one form or another.
Scientists have learned that because of the
similarities between plants and bacteria,
certain sections of their DNA can be
manipulated or exchanged. Both
organisms have the genes that make the
proteins which allow the organism to
glow. But plants (specifically, their
chloroplasts) lack the gene that switches
on this protein-making process.
Researchers find out this would reduce the
amount of energy we consume or provide
nighttime lighting to those without
electricity. With this discovery we may
one day be able to walk around on an
alien planet without ever leaving Earth.

Conclusion

Pertaining the analysis about

those article, lights are one of important
thing for us. To achieve a more stable and
sustainable condition of streets, scientific
knowledge by getting DNA jellyfishes is
good for lighting trees. Lighting accounts
for around 20 percent of worldwide
energy consumption, so replacing them
with naturally bioluminescent plants
would represent a significant cut to CO2
emissions (Collins, 2017). This evidence
