Genetic modification involves a special set of technologies that enable us to directly alter the genetic makeup of such living organisms as animals, plants, or bacteria.
Direct blending of genes from different organisms involves what is known as recombinant DNA technology. The resulting organisms are said to be ‘genetically modified’, ‘genetically engineered’ or ‘transgenic’. |
