Study Notes
- Genetic engineering is a process by which genes from one organism are inserted into another organism in order to achieve a desired outcome.
- Genetic engineering is used to create crops that are resistant to pests, herbicides, or other environmental challenges.
- Genetic engineering is also used to create crops that are fruit-bearing, have a longer shelf life, or that ripen more slowly.
- Genetic engineering is currently being used to create crops that are resistant to herbicides.
- Genetic engineering is also being used to create crops that are resistant to pests.
- Genetic engineering is being used to create crops that are fruit-bearing.
- Genetic engineering is being used to create crops that have a longer shelf life.
- Genetic engineering is being used to create crops that ripen more slowly.
Test your knowledge about the role of genetic engineering in creating crops with desirable traits such as pest resistance, herbicide resistance, improved shelf life, and altered ripening time.
