Detailed explanation-1: -Traditional Crop Modification Traditional methods of modifying plants, like selective breeding and crossbreeding, have been around for nearly 10, 000 years. Most of the foods we eat today were originally created using a combination of traditional methods. Two similar plants cross-pollinate to create a new plant.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many GMO crops are used to make ingredients that Americans eat such as cornstarch, corn syrup, corn oil, soybean oil, canola oil, or granulated sugar. A few fresh fruit and vegetables are available in GMO varieties, including potatoes, summer squash, apples, papayas, and pink pineapples.
Detailed explanation-3: -Crop plants, farm animals, and soil bacteria are some of the more prominent examples of organisms that have been subject to genetic engineering.
Detailed explanation-4: -The techniques employed in genetic engineering have led to the production of medically important products, including human insulin, human growth hormone, and hepatitis B vaccine, as well as to the development of genetically modified organisms such as disease-resistant plants.
