Functional diversity diversity in the different species or components interact in – primarily positive ways in contrast to diversity.” – “random Genetic Engineering - a set of techniques from molecular biology (such as recombinant DNA) by which the genetic material of plants, animals, microorganisms, cells and other biological units are altered in ways or with results that could not be obtained by methods of natural mating and reproduction, or natural recombination. Techniques of genetic engineering include, but are not limited to: recombinant DNA, cell fusion, micro- and macro-injection, and encapsulation. Genetically engineered organisms do not include organisms resulting from techniques such as conjugation, transduction, and natural hybridization. Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) - a plant, animal, or microbe that has been transformed by genetic engineering. Greenhouse gas - gaseous molecules, either naturally occurring or man-made, known to contribute to global warming, including but not limited to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, methane, nitrous oxide, ozone, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride, and water vapor. Greenhouse gas emissions production and release of greenhouse into the – atmosphere.
