GMOs (genetically modified organisms)

[EZM]

I understand the process well. It's a controlled "engineered" process. My thoughts were really around asking myself the question that a fish naturally has the genetics (and subsequent chromosomes) to reproduce. Altering (adding) the chromosomes changes the genetics of the fish and renders it sterile.

That was my train of thought - but I understand the distinction now based on the definition provided. Sounds like the definition requires both engineering and adding genetic material into the plant or animal for it to be a GMO.

Either way ........ add some butter and I'd fry it up in the pan ........... yum

None of this occurs without genetic manipulation does it? Isn't withholding/manipulating a chromosome a way of genetically engineering an organism?

Certainly doesn't match the definition of how I understand GMO's .... but again, I'm not an expert in this area of genetics.

Just curious really ........

He was quoting this.

This would be the GMO definition
