Genetic engineering is the artificial modification of an organism’s genetic composition. Genetic engineering typically involves transferring genes from one organism into another organism of a different species to give the latter specific traits of the former. The resulting organism is called a transgenic or genetically modified organism, or GMO. Examples of such organisms include plants that are resistant to certain insects and plants that can withstand herbicides.
