13 multiple choice 1 point which of the following is an example of a genetically modified organism? when finches adapt to dry conditions because those with larger beaks survive and leave more offspring when scientists put a gene from a bacteria into a corn plant so it makes a pesticide. when male peacocks with bright feathers get more mates and leave more offspring when humans choose dogs with favorable traits to breed
A genetically modified organism (GMO) is one whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Putting a gene from bacteria into a corn plant is a direct example of genetic modification. Finches adapting due to natural selection (larger - beaked finches surviving), male peacocks with bright feathers getting more mates (sexual selection), and humans choosing dogs to breed (artificial selection) are all examples of natural or human - driven selection processes that do not involve direct genetic engineering.
