Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic modification of plants involves adding a specific stretch of DNA into the plant’s genome, giving it new or different characteristics. This could include changing the way the plant grows, or making it resistant to a particular disease.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, cornstarch can be made with GMO corn and sugar can be made with GMO sugar beets. Corn: 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.
