Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The companies believe the technology could lessen the risks of crop failures for farmers, and decrease the amount of waste, as fewer strawberries will be thrown out. The first commercially available, genetically modified strawberries are expected to be launched within a few years.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Using recombinant DNA technology, the gene for temperature resistance in fish is inserted into strawberries. These genetically modified strawberries are a type of genetically modified organism. The genetically modified organisms are the organisms whose genetic material has been manipulated.
