HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic engineering (also called genetic modification) is a process that uses laboratory-based technologies to alter the DNA makeup of an organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -GM is a technology that involves inserting DNA into the genome of an organism. To produce a GM plant, new DNA is transferred into plant cells. Usually, the cells are then grown in tissue culture where they develop into plants. The seeds produced by these plants will inherit the new DNA.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic Engineering in Industry Genetically engineered microbes are used to produce enzymes used in laundry detergents and contact lens solutions. Recombinant microbes also are used to make substances that can be converted to polymers such as polyester for use in bedding and other products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gene editing, based on a technology known as CRISPR-Cas9, allows researchers to customize a living organism’s genetic sequence by making very specific changes to its DNA.
