Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's) are:

• Organisms whose genes / DNA have been edited

• Organisms who have received new stem cells to cure a disease

• Organisms whose DNA has been copied

• Organisms whose entire genome has been sequenced

Transgenic Organisms (GMO's) are:

• Organisms that have genes from a different species

• Organisms who have received new stem cells to cure a disease

• Organisms whose DNA has been copied

• Organisms whose entire genome has been sequenced

"Trans" means:

• "Across"

• "New"

• "Different"

• "Many"
