What typeof organisms can increase genetic variation through reproduction?
both plants and animals
What part of plants is a stem modification for storage?
bulb
How can biotechnology used to control pests?
This is actually an easy one if i get what youre talking about right. If youre talking specifically about genetic modification, then the answer is that scientists can add and activate genes of certain plants to repel certain pests.
What is the difference between a clone organism and a transgenic organism?
Genetic engineering is the combining of DNA from different species and can only be done in the laboratory. Traditional plant and animal breeding stay within the species to get the desired result.
How do plants synthesise proteins and fats?
hyfj Edited answer: Through biochemical reactions under the guidance of genetic information of that cell.
What technique has been used to modify agricultural plants?
Genetic modification is a new technique. The oldest is domestication, where you select and breed the best plants or animals.
What types of plants are being modified?
do you mean genetic modification? mostly soybean and potatoes, a bit of corn and rice. if you mean any kind of modification then all plant life undergoes modifications all the time
What is a hybrid variety?
Hybrid varieties are those which are developed through crossing two plants of the same species. It is distinguishable from genetic modification because it is accomplished without manipulating the DNA through physically cutting a gene from one plant and then inserting it into another. It is also different from genetic engineering in that hybridization crosses plants of the same or similar species and genetic engineering removes a gene or gene from one species, such as a bacteria or virus, and inserts it into a totally different species, such as corn or soy.

Where are gm crops currently grow?
Genetically modified crops are grown world wide. Genetic modification of plants has been man assisted since Luther Burbank developed 800 strains ad varieties of plants.

What is one advantage of using genetic modification?
Some advantages are that they can make plants pest resistance, disease resistance, cold resistance, bigger in size and tastier.
Why do plants undergo modification?
Plants mainly undergo modification to increase their abilities to adapt. By modifying themselves, they can better adapt to and survive in their environment.
Why plants differ from one another?
Genetic diversity through genetic adaptation. Put simply - over thousands and millions of years, plants have adapted to their specific living conditions - to enable them to survive long enough to reproduce.
What is the difference between genetically modified plants and hybrid plant varieties which are produced by selective breeding?
Hybrid plants are selectively bred within a species (corn with corn, lilacs with lilacs, tomatoes with tomatoes, etc.), mostly by pollinating one kind of the same species with another. Genetic modification involves taking a gene or genes from one species and forcing them into the seeds of another species in a lab. Hybridization is vertical breeding (within a species) and genetic modification is horizontal breeding (between species).
