Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Biotechnology uses a procedure called genetic engineering.
Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic engineering allows scientists to move desired genes from one plant or animal into another. Genes can also be moved from an animal to a plant or vice versa. Another name for this is genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.
Detailed explanation-3: -By inserting the Bt gene into the DNA of the corn plant, scientists gave it the insect-resistance trait. This new trait does not change the other existing traits. In the laboratory, scientists grow the new corn plant to ensure it has adopted the desired trait (insect resistance).
