Scientists have developed new techniques for producing organisms with desirable traits. Genetic modification allows scientists to insert genetic material from one organism into another organism. For example, one type of genetically modified com contains genetic material from a species of bacterium. The genetically modified com plants produce a specific substance that causes pests to die when they feed on these corn plants. Which statement best describes how genetic modification technology differs from the technique used with
teosinte plants thousands of years ago?
А Genetic modification technology requires a longer time to create a change in a species.
B Genetic modification technology influences which traits are passed from parents to offspring.
С Genetic modification technology is available to more people.
D Genetic modification technology introduces completely new traits into an unrelated organism.
