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