WHAT IS GENETIC MODIFICATION?
The altering of DNA in an organism is called as genetic modification. This can be done by the insertion or deletion of genes.
A gene is a code that governs how we appear and what characteristics we have.
Genetic engineering or genetic modification, thus, involves the manipulation of genes within a species, and may also involve the transfer of genes—and thus the characteristics governed by those genes—from one species to another.
Spontaneous alteration of genes takes place naturally and sometimes with no effect. A spontaneous alteration can lead to the development of both positive and negative characteristics. The method is not particularly good if the intention is to create specific changes.
WHAT ARE GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS?
Genetically modified foods are foods derived from genetically modified organisms, (GMOs). Genetically modified organisms have had specific changes introduced into their DNA by genetic engineering techniques.
