Deon Morales · Answer 1

D. They require artificial pollination methods

Explanation:

A Genetically modified crop, also known as transgenic crop are plants that have a combination of genetics that has been obtained by using modern biotechnology. Such plants usually contains genes that are inserted artificially rather than the plant acquiring it naturally through the process of pollination as used by other plants.

Shaun Neal · Answer 2

The correct options are option B and D

Explanation:

A GM crop is a plant that has a novel mix of hereditary material got using present day biotechnology.

For instance, a GM harvest can contain a gene (s) that has been misleadingly embedded rather than the plant getting it through fertilization.

The subsequent plant is said to be "hereditarily altered" despite the fact that in all actuality the sum total of what harvests have been "hereditary adjusted" from their unique wild state by training, determination, and controlled reproducing over significant stretches of time.

In 1994, Calgene's postponed aging tomato (Flavr-Savr™) turned into the primary hereditary altered nourishment yield to be delivered and expended in an industrialized nation. Since the recorded commercialization of GM crops in 1996 to 2018, a few nations have added to ~113-overlay increment in the worldwide zone of transgenic crops.

The region planted to GM crops shot up from 1.7 million hectares in 1996 to 191.7 million hectares in 2018, with an expanding extent developed by creating nations. In 2018, there were 26 biotech nations, 18 of which growing 50,000 hectares or progressively, 21 creating nations and 5 mechanical nations; they were, arranged by hectarage: USA, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, India, Paraguay, China, Pakistan, South Africa, Uruguay, Bolivia, Australia, Philippines, Myanmar, Sudan, Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Vietnam, Honduras, Chile, Portugal, Bangladesh, Costa Rica, Indonesia.
