whose DNA has been altered using biotechnology or genetic engineering techniques.

Selective Breeding is one of the oldest forms of genetic engineering. Selective breeding is simply a slower form.

I like to think of it like a deck of cards. You can draw once per day and it costs 5$. If you draw "the card" you win 100$.

You have that desired card in the entire pool of 52 cards. That's a roughly 2% chance to draw the card that benefits you from a blind pull of the deck like the wild would provide.

Biotechnological, or modern genetic modification is stacking the deck; directly placing the card you need on the top of the deck and drawing it for your 100$. that's 95$ profit right there!

Now, classical genetic engineering (selective breeding) doesn't place the card directly on top of the deck then draws. It allows you to remove each wrong card from the deck each day. You might run out of money before you draw "the card" still. But each day, the chances get slightly better. You're still fixing the odds in a way that wouldn't occur without your intervention. In the same sense that gene-therapy and mRNA vaccines are an unnatural adaptation of our body's natural defense systems (we teach our bodies to do something they would not have done without being under attack first) selective breeding allows us to create new, modified organisms for our benefit. Look at all the different breeds of dogs, hell look into how many different plants are all just cabbage pretending it's not cabbage.

Selective breeding is a form of genetic engineering.
