A GMO (genetically modified organism) is the result of a laboratory process of taking genes from one species and inserting them into another in an attempt to obtain a desired trait or characteristic, hence they are also known as transgenic organisms.

GMOs (or “genetically modified organisms”) are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a laboratory through genetic engineering, or GE. This relatively new science creates unstable combinations of plant, animal, bacteria and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods.

A GMO is an organism whose genome has been altered by the techniques of genetic engineering so that its DNA contains one or more genes not normally found there such as rice or corn.

It is a genetically modified organism and corn is a gmo

Genetically modified organism, In California, there is talk of exploring a 2012 ballot initiative to require the labeling of GMO foods.

If you have two bunnies, one with black fur and one with white fur, and you want to switch their color, you would take one of each of their genes and swap them in a laboratory. This would result in a GMO.

In chipotle they are currently all non gmo (genetically modified organism).

a GMO is a genetically modified organism. for example a crop + an unrelated gene= GMO

A GMO, also known as a Genetically Modified Organism, is what come out of extracting genes from one organism and placing it inside another organism, like inserting insect killing properties into crops.

When a gene from one organism is purposely moved to improve or change another organism in a laboratory, the result is a genetically modified organism (GMO). It is also sometimes called "transgenic" for transfer of genes. Insulin used in medicine is an example of genetic engineering; the insulin gene from the intestines of pigs is inserted into bacteria. The bacterium grows and produces insulin; this insulin is then purified and used for medical purposes.

A gmo is a genetically modified organism. For example a tomato can get deep sea fish dna and it will be able to be frozen without being changed.

GMO is a genetically modified organism taken from a species into another species to give it certain trait. For example if u were to take lizard DNA and put it in an animal with a missing limb the limb will grow back.
