It is okay to genetically modify plants and animals if it does not endanger the rest of the ecosystem. Plants can be modified just so that they can have certain desirable effects like more resistance to disease and ability to bear more fruit.

∙ 14y agoIm not sure exactly what you are asking. You can't really genetically modify an animal after it is grown, but yes, scientists quite regularly modify animals while they are in the embryo stage. An example of this taking place is when cows were genetically modified to produce milker with a higher protein content.

∙ 14y agoit depends, if you are doing it for fun then it is wrong but, they are mix breeding animals to help bring back endangered and even extinct animals

∙ 11y agowhen we insert other type of genes in animals for modification to improve the species or for experiments to change the species character

∙ 9y agoyeah you can modify but you should want all your family members and whoever the ancestors you have, your parents DNA samples that's the answer how you can modify

How do scientists genetically modify watermelons?
Most of the food plants we use now are 'genetically modified' in the way of improving the amount of food able to be grown, the disease resistances of the plant, the quality and consistency of the food grown - but then farmers have been doing this type of work for hundreds of years, the scientists have only recently taken up the habit

What are some disadvantages for genetically engineered animals?
Disadvantages of transgenic animals for humans include transgenesis not being good for the animals, altering of an animal's cells is not ethical, and the scientists that create transgenic animals have no way of knowing what the outcome will be. Adverse reactions are common and usually unexpected.
