Genetic modification (GM) is designed to produce desired characteristics in a plant or animal by splicing a gene that has the desired characteristic directly into the genetic code of that plant or animal. It is much faster than selective breeding

What is superior DNA?

"Superior DNA" can refer to genetic material that possesses desirable traits or characteristics, such as disease resistance, increased intelligence, or physical strength.

What are the method of traditional biotechnology?

Traditional biotechnology methods include fermentation, selective breeding, and genetic engineering. Fermentation is the process of using microorganisms to produce products like yogurt or cheese. Selective breeding involves breeding organisms with desirable traits to create new varieties. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of an organism's genetic material to introduce specific traits.


What would genetic engineering and selective breeding go under?

Genetic engineering and selective breeding are both techniques used in the field of biotechnology to modify the genetic makeup of organisms for specific purposes, such as improving traits or creating new varieties. They both fall under the broader category of genetic manipulation or genetic modification.
