Detailed explanation-2: -Corn is the most commonly grown crop in the United States, and most of it is GMO. Most GMO corn is created to resist insect pests or tolerate herbicides.

Detailed explanation-3: -Crops produced by biotechnology include soybeans, corn, cotton, canola, papaya, tomatoes and squash. Also, an enzyme used to make cheese and yeast to make bread is commonly produced by biotechnology. Protection of the environment. Scientists have made some foods, such as papayas and potatoes, more resistant to disease.

Detailed explanation-4: -Also, several of the major pests of corn are difficult and expensive to control with conventional insecticides, but are susceptible to Bt toxins produced in plant tissues. The biotechnology to insert toxin producing Bt genes into corn is available.
