Sentences with phrase «transgenic animal or plant»

Not exact matches

A GMO, or genetically modified organism, is a plant, animal, microorganism or other organism whose genetic makeup has been modified in a laboratory using genetic engineering or transgenic technology.

Using genetic engineering or transgenic technology, the DNA of plants and animals is combined with the DNA of other species and artificially modified to exhibit traits such as resistance to cold or herbicides.

In addition, more precise genome editing may allay public fears, especially if the resulting plant or animal is not considered transgenic because no foreign genetic material is introduced.
