How can plant crops be modified so that they do not need to be sprayed with pesticides that are also harmful to humans like normal crops are?
A. They can be given DNA to allow them to resist harsh conditions.
B. They can be given human DNA so that the pests will not want to eat them.
C. They cannot be modified to be better than organic crops
D. They can be given bacterial DNA to produce a toxin that only works on bugs and other pests.

Answer :

I think the answer is D ::/://)(;,/;

Genetically modified plants are engineered and have inbuilt resistance toward pests, insects, etc. These plants are introduced with bacterial DNA that produces toxins that kill pests. Thus, option D is correct.

What are genetically modified crops?

Genetically modified plants are made through the process of genetic engineering and recombinant technology by introducing the modified DNA or genetic material into the host to confer properties.

Genetically modified (GM) crops have been known to have traits beneficial to the plant to provide resistance against insects, pests, diseases, chemicals, the environment, etc.

The plant is introduced to the modified and engineered bacterial genome that releases toxic substances that can kill insects, rodents, pests, arthropods, etc.

Therefore, option D. the genetically modified plants produce a toxin that kills pests.
