Solution

The table mentioned below shows how GMO is different from hybrid:
Genetically modified organisms Hybrids
These organisms are produce by technique known as recombinant DNA technology. Through this technique their genetic material has been altered by inserting some foreign DNA in their genome. When the interbreeding between two organisms of different taxa takes place naturally or artificially, hybrids are produced.
GMO contain the desirable gene incorporated in them It often results in the introduction of undesirable genes along with desirable ones.
It cannot occur naturally. It take place in lab under sterile conditions, for eg-Bt- cotton It can occur naturally through cross pollination.
