Why do scientists create genetically modified crops?
Genetically modified crops are made in order to make a desired trait, such as high yield, disease resistance, large fruit etc. more pronounced and/or undesired traits, such as toxins and large seeds...
How are genetically modified crop produced?
Genes are both the physical and hiden traits that appears on crop such as the colors,sizes,shapes etc.Genetically,crops are been modified based on the aforementioned qualities.Two desirable trait of two local breed will cross and produced a modified breed
What is an organism with 2 alleles for 1 trait that are different?
The answer to your question, "What is an organism with 2 of the same alleles for a trait called?" is homozygous. it is just homozygous-By SciienceFreak
What is a sentence for dominant trait?
A dominate trait is a trait that appears even if an organism has only one factor for the trait.
Physical characteristic of an organism?
The answer is trait. :D
Can a modified trait in an organism be undone?
no
What caused genetically modified foods to happen?
Genetically modified foods happened because man discovered that a gene could be removed from one species and forced into the cells of another species to bring about a desired trait in the host, or that a gene could be removed from an organism, modified in some way, and inserted back into the same organism. In the most common genetically modified foods today (2015), the desired trait is either resistance to a herbicide or to produce an insecticide in the plant itself, although there are some other, less common traits produced through genetic modification.
What does it mean when a food product is genetically modified?
If a food product is genetically modified, it means that it is the product of an organism (such as a plant) which has had its DNA changed. This includes techniques such as inserting a gene into an organism's DNA so that it will have a new trait. For example, some corn crops have had a gene inserted into their DNA which makes them more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. Genetic modification can be seen as 'unnatural' and therefore some people choose not to eat GM foods.
What role does technology play in genetically modified food?
Without technology, there would be no genetically modified foods, because the technology to remove a gene or genes from one species and insert it into another to produce a desired trait would not be available.

How are foods genetically modified?
Generally, foods are genetically modified by taking a gene from one species and forcing into the cells of another species in a lab to produce a desired trait. This differs from hybridization in that it is transgenic (between species) and the gene is physically forced into the cells.
What is meant by traits?
An acquired trait is a characteristic of an organism that developed after the organism began life. For instance, a limp from a broken leg is an acquired trait. In contrast, an innate trait is one that an organism had (or was genetically determined to develop) at the time the organism began life. An example of this would be a cat being born with a tabby-stripe coat pattern.
What is genetically modified food and how is this process achieved?
Genetically modified foods are those that have been genetically engineered to insert a gene from one species (often a bacteria) into another species (corn, soy, etc). This is accomplished by cutting a target gene that will produce a desired trait from one species and artificially inserting it into the target plant.
A genetically determined characteristic?
Trait
What is a synonym for inherited trait?
Genetically acquired trait.
