YouTube Description
as posted by the channelA fan asks Bill Nye what the difference is between selective breeding and genetically modifying an organism. Watch Bill explain the differences to Chuck Nice, referencing GMO corn, hybridization, viruses and galls on trees, and George Washington’s use of tweezers and a magnifying glass. As Bill tells it, he used to see the line between the two as more distinct than he does now, thanks to a recent study about sweet potatoes. Plus, you’ll find out something about Bill Nye’s own personal genetic ancestry you might not know.
