\nStatement B is not correct.
\n<\/section>\n
\nGenetically modified organism (GMO) technology involves transferring genes between organisms. While widely applied in plants (e.g., Bt cotton, herbicide-resistant crops), it also has significant applications in animals (e.g., transgenic animals for research, disease models, or production of specific proteins) and microorganisms (e.g., bacteria engineered to produce insulin or enzymes). Therefore, the application is not limited only to plants.
\n<\/section>\n
\nOption A correctly describes a fundamental step in genetic modification. Option C highlights a valid environmental concern regarding potential gene flow from GM crops to wild relatives. Option D accurately describes the method for creating transgenic animals by introducing the desired gene into a fertilized egg or early embryo to ensure it is present in all cells.
