Solution
Genetically Modified Organisms:
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a living organism whose DNA has been altered through genetic engineering methods.
These are also known as transgenic organisms.
GMOs are created in laboratories using scientific methods like Recombinant DNA technology and Reproductive cloning.
For example, Soybeans that have been genetically engineered save water and require fewer insecticides.
