Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic engineering allows scientists to move desired genes from one plant or animal into another. Genes can also be moved from an animal to a plant or vice versa. Another name for this is genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. The process to create GE foods is different than selective breeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are more accurately called transgenic organisms where trans means on or from “the other.” A transgene is a gene that comes from outside the genome. Bacteria acquire transgenes naturally all the time through horizontal gene transfer.

Detailed explanation-3: -A genetically modified organism (GMO), otherwise referred to as a living modified organism (LMO) or transgenic organism, is understood to mean any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology.
