  • Pest

  • Cold

  • Drought

  • Heat

Genetic modifications cannot cause

  • Made crops more tolerant to Abiotic stresses

  • Reduced reliance on chemical pesticides

  • Increased efficiency of mineral usage by plants

  • Early exhaustion of fertility of soil

The enhanced nutritional value of food by genetic modifications is not seen in

  • Maize

Tailor made plants will supply which of the following alternative resources to industries

  • Gloden rice

  • Starches

  • Maize

  • Pesticide

Bt toxin gene is cloned in

  • Bacteria

  • Plants

  • Fungi

  • Algae

If you have inserted Bt toxin gene in a plant, it does not need

  • To rely on insecticide

  • To rely on draught resistant genes
