What are the differences between Genetic Engineering and breeding?..

Answer / suman mohajan

It is true that gene transfers also occur in conventional
plant and animal breeding, but these only take place between
individuals of the same species, or, in some cases, between
closely related species. A rice plant can cross with a
different rice species, but not with a walnut. Genetic
engineering is not bound by these limits. So, for example
the genetically engineered Vitamin A rice contains newly
inserted genes from daffodils, viruses and bacteria. As a
result a new form of life has been created.
