Chapter 14, Problem 1FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Gene alteration in an organism by the use of genetic engineering techniques is called genetically modifies organisms. The genome of a genetically modified organism has been modified by using various artificial methods. Transgenic organisms are genetically modified by inserting genes from a different species. Most of the GMOs are transgenic organisms.
