GMO - Genetically modified organism (GMO) is Genetic
material of an organism is altered with the help of genetic
engineering techniques generally known as recombinant DNA
technology. DNA molecules from one source is combined with
the DNA of other in vitro into one molecule to create a new
gene. The recombinant DNA is then transferred into an
organism causing the expression of modified or novel traits.
The product is also known as an Genetically Engineered
Organism or GEO.

Examples Transgenic animals (mice, fish), transgenic plants
(BT Cotton, Flavour Savour Tomato), or various microbes
(fungi and bacteria) . The production and use of GMOs are
ivolved in biology or medicine, for the production of
pharmaceuticals and industrial enzymes, and for direct, and
often controversial, applications aimed at improving human
health (e.g., gene therapy) or agriculture (e.g., golden
rice). For example, a gene from a jellyfish, encoding a
fluorescent protein called GFP, can be physically linked and
thus co-expressed with mammalian genes to identify the
location of the protein encoded by the GFP-tagged gene in
the mammalian cell. The indispensable use of GMO is in many
areas of research, such as to study the mechanisms of human
and other diseases .

gmo.its role in bt is to produce new organisms . which can
be useful for us.and dolly is the first trasgenic animal..

Answer / shirisha

gmo stads for genetically modified organism.its role in
biotechnology is to produce new things from the tasfer of
genes .....

Answer / geetha

GMO stands for genetically modified organism.....
the genes of any plant or animal should be modified genetically which is regarded as a transgenic plant or animal. The role is to prolong their lifetime or half lives. These GMO's are regarded as GRAS i.e genetically regarded as safe.

if i m doing bsc in biotechnology now.. are there any chances that i can do b.tech nw??
