A lot of people are against genetically modified crops being grown because of potential negative health effects. The effects of altering crops genetically are also not known due to the process being relatively new.
Genetically Modified Crops.
Some benefits of genetically modified crops include increased crop yields, reduced need for pesticides, and improved nutritional content. Additionally, GM crops can be engineered to be more resistant to diseases and harsh environmental conditions, helping ensure food security for a growing global population.
Some examples of transgenic species include genetically modified crops like Bt corn, Roundup Ready soybeans, and Golden Rice. Other examples are transgenic animals like GloFish, genetically modified mice used in scientific research, and Enviropig, engineered to digest phosphorus more efficiently.
Transgenic plants are plants in which DNA from another species has been introduced into the plant's genome.
