To review: The three examples of genetic engineering that played a role to improve the quality of food or agricultural productivity.
Introduction: Genetic engineering allows the direct transfer of gene of interest between the closely or distantly related organisms. This technique involves in the use of laboratory tool to cut, alter and insert the pieces of DNA that contain the gene of interest. Genetically modified crops consist of a gene that has been artificially inserted into the plant genome. The resulting crop is said to be “genetically modified” from their wild (original) state.
