👉 Genetic engineering is a scientific technique that involves manipulating or modifying genes to create new organisms. This process can be used for various purposes, such as improving crop yields, treating genetic diseases, and creating new species. In genetics, genetic engineering refers to the use of cells, tissues, or organisms to modify their genetic material in ways that are not directly related to a specific organism's phenotype (phenotype is the visible traits of an organism). This can include changes in gene expression, mutation, or modification
