What characteristic is often genetically engineered in crop plants?
By far the characteristic that is most often genetically engineered into crop plants is resistance to herbicides, with engineering crops to produce a substance that kills insects into the plant itself a close second.
Plants are expected to be genetically engineered to have?
resistance to the elements (such as cold and hail) and pests. Also they're engineered to have a larger crop
What does GMO stand for?
GMO stands for a Genetically Modified Organism.
What happens when pollen moves from genetically engineered crops to wild relatives or non-genetically engineered varieties?
The same thing that happens when non-genetically engineered pollen moves to these other plants. You get a hybridized seed which may or may not display a given characteristic depending on whether the genetic trait is dominant, assuming that the other plant has the same number of chromosomes and can actually accept the pollen, and whether the seed which is produced is sterile or viable.
List 3 potential benefits of genetic engineering of plants?
a genetically engineered plant has the following advantages: 1. it can be desirably modified so as to produce desirable yield. 2. better quality crops and more resistance 3. the plant will produce seeds of the same superior quality.
Why do some people prefer to eat that are not genetically engineered?
People prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered because the long term effects of eating genetically engineered plants is unknown.
Why do some people prefer eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
People prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered because the long term effects of eating genetically engineered plants is unknown.
Why do people prefer to eat foods that are not genetically engineered?
Some people prefer non-genetically engineered foods due to concerns about potential health risks, environmental impacts, or ethical considerations associated with genetic engineering. Others may prefer the taste or nutritional qualities of foods that are not genetically modified.

Which characteristic is often genetically engineered into crop plants?
Better growth and bigger yeilds.
What does GMO stand for?
GMO stands for a Genetically Modified Organism.
Why are genetically modified plants engineered to be toxic considered safe for human consumption?
Genetically modified plants engineered to be toxic are considered safe for human consumption because the toxins are specifically designed to target pests and not humans. Regulatory agencies conduct thorough safety assessments to ensure that these plants are safe for consumption before they are approved for use in the food supply.
What is organic modifier?
GMOs are plants or animals that have been genetically engineered with DNA from bacteria, viruses or other plants and animals. These experimental combinations of genes do not occur in nature.
What are some risks of genetically engineering plants?
When plants, especially crop plants. are genetically engineered they are completely uniform in all characteristics. They have no genetic diversity. If the crop should be attacked by pests that it has no defense for, all will be affected and perhaps die, and the crop would be totally worthless.
Why are people so concerned about genetically modified food?
People are concerned about this because genetically modified food is not natural food. It was genetically modified by a human or a machine. In either case, man made machine, and man isn't perfect. So, because of that, people are so concerned.
Genetically engineered antibodies?
Antibodies: chemical that are like glue to specific pathogenes. They stick to bacteria and viruses and make them incapable of effecting their manevolent lifecycle. Genetically engineered: Engineers fooling bacteria, plants or animals into making specified chemical for us. When I'm sick I'm all for them.
