This is a picture of seedless grapes. This is an example of a genetically modified organism because the grapes were genetically modified to be seedless. A genetically modified organism, also referred to as GMO. is an organism whose genetic code has been altered by artificial means such as interspecies gene transfer. Some examples of GMO include fruits like the grapes shown above, GM atlantic salmon, and Enviropig. GMOs are developed for many reasons and a few being that they are more pest resist or that they have no seeds and make it easier to eat.
