(N/A) $GMO$ stands for Genetically Modified Organism. It differs from a hybrid because in a hybrid,a cross is performed between different genomes of two species or strains through traditional breeding methods. In contrast,in a $GMO$,specific foreign gene$(s)$ are introduced into the organism's genome using recombinant $DNA$ technology,and these genes are either maintained as extra-chromosomal entities or integrated into the host genome to express desired traits.
