Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic engineering is a technique in which a specific gene can be selected and transplanted into the recipient organism. This process involves the induction of a region of the chromosome, which controls a certain feature of the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism.

Detailed explanation-3: -An insertion, as related to genomics, is a type of mutation that involves the addition of one or more nucleotides into a segment of DNA. An insertion can involve the addition of any number of nucleotides, from a single nucleotide to an entire piece of a chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -If genetic material from another species is added to the host, the resulting organism is called transgenic. If genetic material from the same species or a species that can naturally breed with the host is used the resulting organism is called cisgenic.

Detailed explanation-5: -The term genetic engineering initially referred to various techniques used for the modification or manipulation of organisms through the processes of heredity and reproduction.
