What is the term for crops that are genetically modified with new genes that code for traits useful to humans?
carcinogenic
mutant
embryonic
transgenic
Biotechnology has been used to create transgenic crops. Transgenic crops are genetically modified with new genes that code for traits useful to humans. The diagram in Figure below shows how a transgenic crop is created. You can learn more about how scientists create transgenic crops with the interactive animation "Engineer a Crop: Transgenic Manipulation" at this link: http://www. pbs. org/wgbh/harvest/engineer/transgen. html .
