In traditional breeding you have to cross two organisms and
search for the desired character if it appears. In
recombinant DNA technique you simply insert a gene in the
organism the source of which can be from anywhere..

Answer / swechcha
Traditional breeding techniques involve mixing thousands of
genes, which in addition to providing the beneficial trait,
also result in the loss of other traits of that crop
considered to be valuable.
Significant time and effort is required to restore the
other valued traits of that crop while maintaining the
desired trait using traditional breeding techniques.
Genetic modification permits food developers to add or
enhance useful traits more specifically or remove
undesirable traits.
The technology permits food developers to add a desired
trait in a more precise manner than traditional breeding
without the loss of other beneficial characteristics since
unwanted genes are not transferred.
