By use of genetic engineering techniques, an organism may be able to be genetically modified. Various organisms ranging from bacteria to food products have been genetically modified in the society.
Humans change their environment by constructing buildings, dams, bridges and other structures, by domesticating plants and animals, by clearing land and using it for farming. Also by extracting resources (petroleum, coal, metals, etc.) from underground and turning them into useful products and as a by product, releasing waste into the environment..
Humans pollute the enviorment. We change it to fit us, and destroy things to get what we need.
As they mature most organisms change, principally in size.

An organism that is produced through genetic engineering is considered to be a genetically modified organism (GMO). Insulin-producing bacteria were commercialized in 1982 and genetically modified food has been sold since 1994. Genetic engineering is also called genetic modification. There is a worry among the public that eating genetically modified food may be harmful but scientific agreement is that these crops are no greater risk to human health than conventional food.
The only proven disadvantage to genetically modified (GM) crops is that some people have shown an alleregic reaction.
The paper tree was modified to have square leaves, that when dried can be used as paper.
They are genetically modified by controlling which ones reproduce. It is like a forced natural selection that is done by man in order to have desirable properties, like resistance to pesticides and herbicides.
Bt cotton is an example of genetically modified organism.

Genetically modified food is created in a lab by removing a gene from one organism and forcing it into an organism of a different species.
Genetically modified organisms are modified on a genetic level to benefit humans. How this can pose a threat to a population or ecosystem, is that if the genetically modified organism were to somehow create a mutation, and pass that on, it could be damaging to the future generations in reducing their health or other issues may arise. It can also be damaging to an ecosystem if a genetically modified organism were to escape into a wild population and change it.
GMO stands for a Genetically Modified Organism.
A genetically modified organism results from a gene being removed from one organism and artificially inserted into an organism of a totally different species. This is a simplified explanation and the process is done in a lab.
They explain what a genetically modified food is this way: "A genetically modified (GM) food or genetically modified organism (GMO) results from the use of recombinant DNA biotechnological procedures that allow the genetic makeup of a food or organism to be altered in some way. This 'recombination' can be accomplished by moving genes from one organism to another or by changing genes in an organism that are already present. These changes result in the expression of attributes not found in the original organism."
GMO stands for genetically modified organism.

a mutant... or a genetically modified organism...
No one discovered genetically modified organisms. Such organisms are created by people working in laboratories. In 1953 it was discovered that DNA is the material that carries genes, the information that defines and structures each organism. For the next 50 years people worked to understand DNA and eventually learned how to modify it, in some circumstances. When such a modification is successful, the result is an organism that has been genetically modified - a genetically modified organism.
