Summary:
Mutations can happen in different ways like being exposed to chemicals or radiation or the DNA of a person fails to copy accurately like if an extra base is added or if one is missing. GMO means genetically modified organism. This you can do if you insert your desired DNA into another loop of DNA called a plasmid. Then this genetically modified plasmid can multiply quickly. This how you would genetically modify an organism.
