Which of these describes a genetically modified organism? An organism that has been genetically altered for agricultural applications. An organism that has had at least one gene from another species inserted into its DNA through DNA technology. An organism that can mate with any other species. An organism that has undergone many generations of selective breeding. Corn that no longer resembles ancestral corn due to asexually dividing organism.

Select all of the following statements that are characteristics of genetically modified organisms: - A genetically modified organism's genome has been deliberately altered due to human-introduced modifications to express desired traits. - When organisms are genetically engineered, the offspring are bred to be genetically different from the parents. - In genetic modification, the laboratory technique involves isolating DNA molecules to insert new genetic information into existing cells of an organism in order to alter their genetic makeup. - A genetically modified organism is engineered to have some desirable trait that would naturally be found in the organism. - The transfer of genetic material can occur within and across species to produce new or modified characteristics in the organism.
