What are Living Modified Organisms (LMOs)?
The process of removing specific genes* from an organism and introducing them to another organism is known as “recombinant DNA technology.” The organisms into which the new characteristics have been incorporated with this technology are called “Living Modified Organisms (LMOs).”
Traditional breed improvements are not different from changing genes by hand. However, the recombinant DNA technology has features that make it possible to introduce “beyond species,” “in a short time,” “aimed characters for certainty.”
*Genes are blueprints for producing many kinds of proteins, and determine the shapes, colors, and behavior. Usually it is composed of the substance called DNA (RNA, in some viruses).
