Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic engineering has applications in medicine, research, industry and agriculture and can be used on a wide range of plants, animals and microorganisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering does not normally include traditional breeding, in vitro fertilisation, induction of polyploidy, mutagenesis and cell fusion techniques that do not use recombinant nucleic acids or a genetically modified organism in the process.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : Genetically modified organisms ‘(GMOs)‘ are plants, bacteria, fungi and animals whose genes have been changed by manipulations. They are not a tool of genetic engineering but a product of it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Used in research and industry, genetic engineering has been applied to the production of cancer therapies, brewing yeasts, genetically modified plants and livestock, and more.
