4 days ago · Genetically modified foods (GM foods), also known as genetically engineered foods (GE foods), or bioengineered foods are foods produced from organisms that have had changes introduced into their DNA using various methods of genetic engineering.
1 day ago · 1) Identification of a gene responsible for a desired trait (e.g. A gene coding for delayed ripening of fruits) 2) Isolation, cloning and modification of the gene. 3) Transformation: Transfer of the gene to the host plant cells. 4) Selection: Segregation of the cells that are transformed from a culture of transformed and non-transformed cells.

16 hours ago · Since GMOs are genetically modified to resist pests and diseases, there is a concern that they could harm beneficial insects and disrupt delicate ecosystems. Additionally, there is the risk of genetic contamination, where GMO crops cross-pollinate with non-GMO crops, making it difficult to maintain the integrity of organic and non-GMO foods.
