Question

When the genotype of an organism is improved
by the addition of foreign gene, the process is
called
(a) tissue culture
(b) genetic diversity
(c) genetic engineering
(d) plastic surgery

Answer 1

When the genotype of an organism is improved  by the addition of foreign gene, the process is  called genetic engineering.

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

• The purpose of genetic engineering is to add new DNA features to an organism.
• It also focuses on new favorable traits which are not found in that organism. Under vitro conditions tissue culturing is done to growing cells in an artificial media.
• It produces genetically identical tissues/cells.
• Genetic makeup plays a vital role in determining the genetic traits.
• Thus, genetic engineering is aimed on improving the genotype of an organism by the addition of foreign gene.
