Question

What are GM crops???​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Genetically modified crops are plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. Plant genomes can be engineered by physical methods or by use of Agrobacterium for the delivery of sequences hosted in T-DNA binary vectors.

Answer 2

GM Crops:

• GM is known as Genetically Modified Crops are the plants used in agriculture, the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods.
• Plants genomes can be engineered by physical methods or by use of Agrobacterium for the delivery of sequences hosted in T-DNA binary vector.
• In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plants which does not occur naturally in the species.
• Farmers have widely adopted GM technology. It increased from 1.7 million hectares in 2016, some 12% of global cropland. As of 2016, major crops traits consists of herbicide tolerance, insect resistance.
• Yields gains and pesticide reductions are larger  for insect-resistance crops than the herbicide tolerant crops.
• The pros of GM crops are that they may contain more nutrients ,are grown with fewer pesticides, and are usually cheaper than their non-GMO counterparts.
• The cons of GMO foods are they that may cause allergic reactions because of their altered DNA and they may increase antibiotic resistance.
