Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)

GMO stands for “genetically modified organisms”, meaning organisms which have had their genes altered. An important distinction between selective breeding and GMO is that, during the GMO process, the genes of a specific plant or animal can be altered with DNA from different species of living organisms, bacteria, or viruses.
Selective breeding still relies on natural reproductive processes, while GMO’s engineering can involve adding foreign genes which don’t occur naturally in the organism.
