To analyze:
The advantages and disadvantages of genetic engineering against the merits and demerits of artificial breeding methods in plants.
Introduction:
The GM crops or the genetically modified crops refer to the plants used in agriculture. In the process, the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) of the plant has been altered with the application of genetic engineering. In the majority of the cases, the objective is to administer a novel trait inside the plant that does not take place naturally in the species.
Plant breeding is the process of selective breeding in which parents are chosen with unique features to breed together and generate offspring with more needed features. However, both the mentioned methods have both advantages and disadvantages.
