Answer Posted / guest

GM stands for "genetically modified". An organism, such as
a plant, animal or bacterium, is considered genetically
modified if its genetic material has been altered through
any method, including conventional breeding. A "GMO" is a
genetically modified organism.

GE stands for "genetically engineered". An organism is
considered genetically engineered if it was modified using
techniques that permit the direct transfer or removal of
genes in that organism. Such techniques are also called
recombinant DNA or rDNA techniques.
