Question

What is the definition of genetically modified organisms

Answer 1

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms (such as plants, animals, or microorganisms) whose genetic material has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally through mating or natural recombination. This can involve the insertion of genes from other organisms, such as bacteria or viruses, to give the organism specific desired traits or characteristics. GMOs are commonly used in agriculture to improve crop yield, resistance to pests or diseases, and tolerance to environmental conditions.
