2 Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) The debate over Biotechnology’s GMOs

3 Genetically Modified Organism an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. recombinant DNA technology... in vitro Examples include animals such as mice, fish, plants, etc. Purposes for plants: resistance to pests, herbicides or harsh environmetal conditions improved shelflife increased nutritional value
