Expand GMO. How is it different from a hybrid ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

GMO stands for Genetically Modified Organism. It differs from a hybrid because in a hybrid, cross is done between different genomes of two species or strains. But in a GMO, foreign gene(s) is introduced in the organism and is usually maintained as extra-chromosomal entity or is integrated into the genome of the organism.
