Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic engineering is a technique used to manipulate genes and create genetically modified organisms. While this technique can be used to study the effects of specific genes on traits or disorders, it is not typically used to determine whether a disorder or trait has a biological basis. Adoption, family, and twin studies are all commonly used techniques to investigate the heritability of traits and disorders and determine their biological basis.
