Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Examples include using genetic engineering to develop herbicide-resistant seeds for soybeans, developing genetically engineered apples with extended shelf life, and using CRISPR gene editing to create cows that produce more milk.
Detailed explanation-2: -Micropropagation has proved especially useful in producing high quality, disease-free planting material of a wide range of crops.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biotechnology provides farmers with tools that can make production cheaper and more manageable. For example, some biotechnology crops can be engineered to tolerate specific herbicides, which make weed control simpler and more efficient.
