Question
Which one of these is a genetically modified crop?
- Maize
- Soyabean
- Wheat
- Mustard
Hint:
Except for wheat, all other crops such as maize, soybean, and mustard are genetically modified crops.
The correct answer is: Soyabean
- A genetically altered crop is genetically modified maize (corn).
- Certain maize strains have been genetically modified to display features that are advantageous for agriculture, such as pest and herbicide resistance. There are currently maize strains with both characteristics in use in several nations.
- The genetically altered hybrid mustard variety Dhara Mustard Hybrid-11, often known as DMH - 11, comes from the species Brassica juncea. It was created by Professor Deepak Pental of the University of Delhi in an effort to lessen India's dependence on imported edible oils.
- GMO soy makes up the majority of the soy farmed in the US. The majority of GMO soy is used to produce soybean oil as well as animal feed, primarily for poultry and livestock. Lecithin, emulsifiers, and proteins are also employed as ingredients in processed foods.
