NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A genetically modified organism (GMO) is an animal, plant, or microbe whose DNA has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. For thousands of years, humans have used breeding methods to modify organisms. Corn, cattle, and even dogs have been selectively bred over generations to have certain desired traits.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms, such as plants, animals and microorganisms whose genetic characteristics have been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the GMO crops grown today were developed to help farmers prevent crop and food loss and control weeds. The three most common traits found in GMO crops are: Resistance to certain damaging insects. Tolerance of certain herbicides used to control weeds.

Detailed explanation-4: -genetically modified organism (GMO), organism whose genome has been engineered in the laboratory in order to favour the expression of desired physiological traits or the generation of desired biological products.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are a number of possible applications for the genetic modification of organisms: Agricultural crops are commonly modified to improve yield, growth rates and nutritional value. Genetically modified animals may be used to grow human transplant tissues and organs (xenotransplantation)
