Greater land production, wider range of suitable land, disease resistance, greater environmental tolerance, less pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers.

GM plants are better competitors for land, water and sunlight.

That's why they are bred transgenic, for the benefits.

What is transgenic technology?

Transgenic plants are plants in which DNA from another species has been introduced into the plant's genome.


What are four ways in which transgenic animals have been used?

1. Transgenic E. coli is used to mass produce amino acids, vitamins and organics used as supplements for animals. 2. Plants such as corn and soy have the bt gene, which gives them pest resistance, lowering the need of pesticide use. 3. GFP (green fluorescent protein) is mass produced using various microbes after the gene coding for it is transcribed into them. 4. Transgenic turf-grass can synthesize protein which can help resist drought.


Is ice-minus bacteria a transgenic micro-organism?

Yes, ice-minus bacteria is a transgenic microorganism because it has been genetically modified to lack the gene responsible for the formation of ice crystals. This modification is done to prevent frost formation on plants.


When is an organism considered transgenic?

An organism is considered transgenic when it has been genetically modified to contain DNA from a different species. This is typically achieved through techniques such as recombinant DNA technology, where specific genes are introduced into the organism's genome. Transgenic organisms are often used in research, agriculture, and medicine to study gene function, produce genetically modified crops, or develop new therapies.

Why are transgenic animals produced?

Transgenic animals carry a deliberately inserted foreign gene. There are many reasons why transgenic animals are produced. Some of those reasons are so that farmers can use selective breeding to produce animals that have desired traits and some transgenic animals have been created for chemical safety testing.


How has the canola plant been used as a transgenic plant?

Canola plants have been genetically modified to be resistant to certain herbicides, allowing for more efficient weed control in fields. They have also been engineered to produce oils with altered fatty acid profiles, improving their nutritional qualities for both human consumption and industrial applications. Additionally, some transgenic canola plants have been developed with enhanced disease resistance to protect against specific pathogens.

What are transegenic animals?

Transgenic animals are animals that have had genes from other organisms inserted into their DNA. This can occur naturally or be done artificially in a lab. The term transgenic organisms usually refers to those which have been modified artificially by humans.


Are transgenic organisms male and female?

A transgenic organism is an organism that has been genetically engineered. It has genes from more than one organism. Can be both, male or female.

How are transgenic animals used in the livestock industry?

Currently, they are not. A transgenic animal is one that has been genetically modified to carry a gene that is not normally found in that species. There are a few livestock animals that are transgenic, but they are carefully monitored in research facilities because they are quite expensive to create and to maintain.


What plantpreduses the most THC?

Marijuana plants generally produce the most THC. So far as I can tell, no other plants have been discovered that also produce this fascinating chemical.
