What three traits for which genes are being transplanted into crop plants?

∙ 15y ago
Genetic engineering of crop plants is done in order to develop a number of traits.
Among these would be: size of the produced vegetable, fruit or grain; resistance to insects and disease; sweetness or flavor; hardiness to freezing temperatures; more rapid maturity; shelf life (in grocery stores, for example); and the ability to withstand the current rigors of shipping and handling.
All of those traits are important to growers and consumers alike.

What are the traits produced by an organisms genes?
All inherited traits are a product of the organism's genes.
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called what?
Traits that are produced by the interaction of several genes are called polygenic traits. Examples of polygenic traits are height and skin color.
What can determine an organisms traits?
Genes are what determine an organisms physical traits.
Which best describe how genes control traits in an organism?
Genes are codes for proteins that cause traits.
What Did Mendel Study To Do With Organisms?
Mendel studied sweet peas. He studied the inheriance of certain traits in pea plants. His studies of the passing of certain traits formed the basis for our understanding of dominant and recessive genes in plants and animals.
What are the characteristics that are passed on from their parent to their young in an animal or a plant?
These are called genetic traits. They are also the genes. Both plants and animals have these traits or genes.
How are genes and traits related?
By them all being cells in your body.
What controls traits in organisms?
The traits of an organism are controlled by genes and environment. Genes
What is the relationship between an organism's genes and its traits?
genes are what makes you who you are and how you look and traits are the genes that you get from your parents.
What are the traits produced by an organisms genes?
All inherited traits are a product of the organism's genes.
What are traits that are shaped by many genes called?
Traits that are shaped by many genes are called polygenic traits.
Do mutations in genes affect traits?
Genes produce proteins that cause traits.
What did Gregor Mendel study?
He studied dominant and recessive genes. He studied pea plants and the traits that they obtained from previous generations.
How genes produce traits in an organism?
Genes produce traits by describing and reproducing the essential proteins essential for life. +genes are codes for proteins that determine traits.
