BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic engineering, also called recombinant DNA technology, involves the group of techniques used to cut up and join together genetic material, especially DNA from different biological species, and to introduce the resulting hybrid DNA into an organism in order to form new combinations of heritable genetic material.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism. This may involve changing a single base pair (A-T or C-G), deleting a region of DNA or adding a new segment of DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of creating GMOs is called genetic modification or genetic engineering. There are several techniques that can be used to modify a genome: ‘Agrobacterium-mediated’ genetic modification is a technique used to introduce new DNA into a plant genome using a modified microbe?.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cloning creates an exact copy of all or part of an organism’s DNA, while genetic modification makes changes to existing DNA to create a new, modified version of the genome. Learn more about cloning at our cloning FAQs page.
