Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -No. Eating GM food will not affect a person’s genes. Most of the food we eat contains genes, although in cooked or processed foods, most of the DNA has been destroyed or degraded and the genes are fragmented. Our digestive system breaks them down without any effect on our genetic make-up.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetically modified crops contain one or two additional genes than either conventional or hybrid crops.
