Detailed explanation-1: -GMO Bt corn reduces the need for spraying insecticides while still preventing insect damage. While a lot of GMO corn goes into processed foods and drinks, most of it is used to feed livestock, like cows, and poultry, like chickens.
Detailed explanation-2: -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).
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic engineering in corn allows genes from bacteria to be added to the genetic material of corn. In traditional breeding, genes of only closely related types of corn can be exchanged.
Detailed explanation-4: -More nutritious food. Tastier food. Disease-and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources (such as water and fertilizer) Less use of pesticides. Increased supply of food with reduced cost and longer shelf life. Faster growing plants and animals. More items •30-Jul-2022
