LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetically modified organism (GMO) is commonly used to describe any of these terms and vice versa: genetic modification (GM), GM seeds, biotechnology, biotech seeds, genetic engineering (GE) and transgenic crops.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists can also take a gene from one species of plant and put that gene into a plant of a different species. Plants made by using this lab technique are called ‘transgenic’ (trans-means across and-genic means related to genes). Plants and animals become ‘genetically modified’ in nature too.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genes can also be moved from an animal to a plant or vice versa. Another name for this is genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
