i don't know help me please so i can get a good grademaybe you should look in the TEXTBOOK! that's what I did. it should be on page 341 of your text book. read the defention. its really simple, genetic engineering is messing with the DNA to improve it. so the benefits of engineering plants genetically could be making them healthier, or to grow faster and to be more efficient. don't take that answer it might not be right, hope that helped. -Hannah

Hi, my answer might be beneficial to this question:

"It may take many generations of breeding for a trait to become homozygous and consistently expressed in the population. Genetic engineering is a faster and more reliable method for increasing the frequency of a specific allele in a population."

I received this answer from page 341 in my Glencoe Biology textbook.

Good luck on your journey to learning!

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 is crossbreeding plants biotechnology?

Crossbreeding plants is considered a form of biotechnology because it involves using scientific knowledge to manipulate the genetic makeup of plants for specific purposes, such as improving crop yields, disease resistance, or environmental adaptability. This can involve techniques such as selective breeding, hybridization, and genetic engineering to achieve the desired traits in the offspring.
