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 total genomes of two species or strains, whereas in a GMO, foreign genes from entirely different species are introduced in the organism and are usually maintained as extrachromosomal entity or are integrated into the genome of the organism.
