In addition to using diagnostic tests like MRI, CT scans, EEG and EMG, neurologists also employ neurological testing to gauge muscle strength and movement, balance, reflexes, sensation, memory, speech, and other cognitive abilities.
A more specifically defined type of GMO is a transgenic organism.. This is an organism whose genetic makeup has been altered by the addition of genetic material from an unrelated organism.
The resulting plant is said to be âgenetically modifiedâ although in reality all crops have been âgenetically modifiedâ from their original wild state by domestication, selection, and controlled breeding over long periods of time. GM or transgenic crop is a plant that has a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology. For example, a GM crop can contain a gene(s) that has been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring it through pollination.
