Detailed explanation-1: -malformations. What kind of genetically modified crops would be most successful in wet-tropical countries that are overcrowded? If space is limited, high-yield crops would be best. Wet-tropical climates are often plagued by pests so crops that are pest-resistant would do well in those climates.
Detailed explanation-2: -4.5. Gene replacement therapy is the technique of recognizing a faulty gene, applying a piece of DNA in its correct form though a viral vector (known as the carrier molecule) to the gene, thus overriding the identified faulty gene with the correct copy.
Detailed explanation-3: -In Agriculture: Genetically modified crops are produced using genetic engineering in agriculture. Such crops are produced that provide protection from insect pests. It is used or can be used in the creation of fungal and virus-resistant crops.
Detailed explanation-4: -Resistance to insect damage. Tolerance to herbicides. Resistance to plant viruses. 19-Apr-2023
