Question

Genetically modified foods (GM foods) are products produced from organisms that have had
genetic modifications introduced into their DNA. Golden rice, Flavr Savr tomatoes and
Roundup Ready soyabeans are products of this technology. Discuss the advantages of these
three GM foods and the genetic modification performed on the wild type crops.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Crops that have had their DNA altered through genetic engineering are referred to as genetically modified crops (GM crops). The administration of sequences housed in T-DNA binary vectors to plant genomes can be accomplished physically or by Agrobacterium.
