This is a picture of cheddar cheese. Cheese represents a genetically modified organism because it is a dairy product which means it contains some additives that were produced by genetically modified microorganisms. Hard cheese, like the cheddar in the picture, contain an enzyme produced by GM microorganisms that would otherwise have to be collected from the stomach of a calf. A GMO is an organism whose genetic material has been changed, usually to enhance it, by using DNA technology.
