Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic modification involves the deliberate alteration of an organism's genetic material. This alteration can be achieved through various techniques, such as deleting or adding DNA to a cell, which is described in option C. Option A is incorrect because altering the genetic code of one species to match another is not genetic modification but rather cloning. Option B is incorrect because altering sugars and phosphates in a nucleus is not a method of genetic modification. Options D and E are also incorrect because removing RNA from a cell or substituting entire nuclei in genetic engineering do not involve modifying the DNA of the cell.
