Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Genetic engineering relies on placing a gene that codes for a desired trait into the ____ of a different organism from the organism where the gene was originally harvested

A	protein
B	amino acid
C	helix
D	genome

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria were the first organisms to be genetically modified in the laboratory, due to the relative ease of modifying their chromosomes. This ease made them important tools for the creation of other GMOs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Definition. 00:00. … 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: -A transgenic, or genetically modified, organism is one that has been altered through recombinant DNA technology, which involves either the combining of DNA from different genomes or the insertion of foreign DNA into a genome.

Detailed explanation-4: -A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques.
