Summary Introduction

To define: The term “Bt crops”.

Introduction: In classical breeding techniques, transfer of hundreds to thousands of genes takes place to develop transgenic crops. These days, however, methods of biotechnology such as recombinant DNA techniques are used to develop transgenic plants at a faster and more precise rate. Genetically modified plants are the plants which are produced by the methods of recombinant DNA technology.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The potential risks associated with the technology used to develop Bt crops.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
What type of risks do genetically modified food potentially pose?
Much of the controversy over genetically engineered foods has centered on whether special labeling should be required on all products made from genetically modified crops. Some people have advocated labeling that identifies the product as having been made from genetically modified plants. Others have argued that food labeling should be required to identify only the ingredients, not the process by which they were produced. Choose a side in this issue and justify your stand.
