What are genetically modified foods?

Answer 1

Jeremiah Allen

The required gene are added into the food plants.

The geneticall modified foods contains an extra gene. The extra genes are transferred for particular purposes.
One gene 'Bt' of the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt gene) is responsible for checking the growth of larva of the insects, The Bt gene is responsible for checking the growth of larva wnen that gene is tranferred to the gene pool foos plants. The plants contain such type of an extra gene are known as the genetically modified plants and in case of food plants the 'genetically modified food'. The example of such type of food are Bt bringle, Bt mustard etc.
The environmentlists, experts, social workers etc., oppose this type of foods. In long ways it will change the purity of food and harm to whole organisms along human beings.

Genetically modified foods are foods derived from organisms whose DNA has been altered through genetic engineering techniques. This is often done to introduce desirable traits such as resistance to pests, diseases, or environmental conditions, or to improve nutritional content or shelf life.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
