Genetically modified organisms are produced when a modification is made in its genetic material through genetic engineering procedures. Artificial selection is a selective breeding done in order to produce a much more enhanced characteristics or traits of organisms. Both these two processes makes or produced a modification or change in the human species in order to best suit the needs of the human race. Although they are similar in this factor, but their way of application of modification is different. GMO produces new traits while artificial selection only selects among the traits already present.
