Can someone please explain how genetic engineering might interfere with natural selection

thomaster (thomaster):

genetic engeneering is the manipulation of an organism's genetic information. Natural selection is a process where organisms with favourable traits are more likely to reproduce where the organisms without these favourable traits do not/die. You can call it survival of the fittest. So when you decide to manipulate an organism's genome so that it has now favourable traits, you interfere with natural selection because in a natural way, this organism wouln't have these traits. I hope this helps.
