Genetic Engineering and Transgenic Organisms
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Genetic engineering alters an organism's genotype using recombinant DNA technology; an organism receiving DNA from a different species this way is transgenic.
Show
A crop plant engineered to carry a bacterial gene it does not naturally possess is a transgenic organism.
Watch for
An organism is transgenic when inserted DNA comes from a different species — a GMO more broadly covers any deliberate genome alteration.
