Source of Genes | Foreign genes from unrelated species | Uses the organism’s own genetic material |
Precision | May have variable precision in gene insertion | Highly precise, enabling targeted changes |
Ethical Concerns | May involve ethical considerations related to introducing foreign genes | Often considered more ethically acceptable due to working with the organism’s own genes |
Ecosystem Impact | Potential ecological impact due to introduction of foreign genes | Lesser ecological impact as changes are made to the organism’s own genes |
