Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is one way to genetically modify an existing organism?
A
by adding genes to its DNA from another organism
B
by modifying the genes of a similar organism
C
by removing all of its genes
D
by making it mutate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Some genetic engineering uses the principle of recombination. Recombination is the process through which a new gene is inserted into a bacterial DNA “The plasmid". The DNA needs to be cut with an enzyme called a restriction enzyme.

Detailed explanation-2: -If genetic material from another species is added to the host, the resulting organism is called transgenic.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gene Transfer: The introduction of new DNA into an existing organism’s cell, usually by vectors such as plasmids and modified viruses. Cells may be modified ex vivo for subsequent administration to humans, or may be altered in vivo by gene therapy given directly to the subject.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microbial Vectors. Microprojectile Bombardment. Electroporation. Microinjection. Transposons/Transposable Elements.
