Define the term genetically modified species in environment and ecology
Answers
Answer:
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. It does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination. A wide variety of organisms have been genetically modified (GM), from animals to plants and microorganisms. Genes have been transferred within the same species, across species (creating transgenic organisms) and even across kingdoms. New genes can be introduced, or endogenous genes can be enhanced, altered or knocked out.
