- Plants only
- Animals only
- Plant, animal, and bacteria
- All the above
Hint:
GMOs can be plants, animals, or any other microorganisms.
The correct answer is: Plant, animal, and bacteria
- Genetically modified organisms are biological things (plants, animals, or microbes) whose DNA has been modified in a particular way that does not occur naturally through mating and/or natural recombination (GMOs).
- The phrase "modern biotechnology," "gene technology," "recombinant DNA technology," or "genetic engineering" are widely used to describe the topic.
- It makes it possible for certain genes to be transferred between unrelated species as well as between different organisms. GM foods are frequently referred to as foods created with or using GM organisms.
