Detailed explanation-1: -GE (biotech) foods look and taste the same as traditional foods and crops. The only difference is that GE (biotech) food has. fewer calories.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cross-breeding has created many new and unique varieties. plant breeding process by altering or inserting specific genes into a new living organism. Scientists can insert individual genes from one living organism into another using biotechnology methods. DNA does not need to come from a closely related species.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: c. Genetically modified crops contain one or two additional genes than either conventional or hybrid crops.
Detailed explanation-4: -Conventional breeding relies on mixing characteristics from different populations within a species and then selecting from a plants natural complement of genetic elements. However genetic engineering relies on inserting genetic elements, and they end up in random locations, which can disrupt complex gene interactions.
