Why have scientist used genetic modification on fruits and vegtables?

Answer 1

There are many impacts resulting from genetic modification of fruits and vegetables. Presently science can do this by splicing in new genes or excising od genes. In the past farmers could only observe natural mutations and selectively breed for superior traits. In effect all modern food id genetically modified either by breeding or by diect manipulation of the genes.The impacts of natural or modern gene manipulation include:

• Resistance to disease
  
• Resistance to pests
  
• Increased yield
  
• Reduced need for nutrients and water
  
• Increased resistance to frost etc.
  
• Improved shelf life when picked
  
• Improve taste and appearance

Answer 2

Scientists use genetic modification on fruits and vegetables to improve qualities such as taste, shelf life, and nutritional content. This technology also allows crops to be more resistant to pests, diseases, and environmental stressors, ultimately increasing crop yields and food security globally.
