Why is genetic engineering preferred over traditional breeding methods among scientists for producing new varieties of plants and animals?

What will be an ideal response?


Genetic engineering is commonly preferred over traditional breeding methods because it gives scientists the ability to place the particular gene that controls the desired characteristic in the precise place on the chromosome, achieving the anticipated result in the next generation of plant or animal.

Traditional breeding methods, by comparison, are less reliable and more time-consuming.
