What does a GM crop mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A crop whose genes have been genetically modified

A genetically modified, or GM, crop is a plant whose genetic material has been deliberately altered using biotechnology to introduce, remove or modify a particular trait. The desired trait may involve insect resistance, tolerance to a herbicide, improved nutritional composition or another characteristic, depending on the crop and the inserted genetic material. Bt cotton is a familiar example in which a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis helps the plant produce a protein active against certain insect pests. Therefore option A is correct. A GM crop is still made of living cells and normally requires water and other conditions for growth. The terms GM and genetically modified refer to a change in genetic material, not to a supernatural or non-biological property.
