Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Improved product quality and increased pest and herbicide resistance have been the main focus of genetically modifying plants. This includes traits such as resistance to insects, disease, and tolerance to herbicides to increase yield and reduce the use of chemical pesticides. Examples include crops such as Bt corn (resistance to corn borer) and Roundup Ready soybeans (tolerance to herbicide). Other improvements in product quality may include enhanced flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
