What is the term used to describe the deliberate modification of an organism’s genetic material using biotechnology techniques?

Explanation

Genetic engineering deliberately modifies an organisms DNA using biotechnology. Scientists add, remove, or alter genes to give organisms new traits not possible through traditional breeding.

Hybridization crosses related organisms naturally. Cloning copies existing organisms exactly. Mutation is random genetic change. Only genetic engineering precisely inserts specific chosen genes.

Agricultural applications: pest-resistant crops, drought-tolerant varieties, faster-growing fish, and animals that produce medicines in their milk.
