its a food where the genetic of it have been modified in laboratory to be able to survive differently exemple : you can grow apple where there is not enought rain or sun because the genetic of the plant have been modified by adding other plant genetic.

What are three foods that can be genetically modified?
Any food can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola.
What is genetic modified foods?
Genetically modified food can also be achieved by altering their DNA (or genes) by genetic engineering techniques. This usually involves inserting a gene into the organisms' DNA to create a certain trait. For example, some corn crops have been genetically modified so that they become more resistant to herbicides and insect pests. In most countries Genetically Modified foods (GM) as well as foods containing GM source foods have to be labelled by law, giving consumers the choice to use them or not. Agriculturally speaking the opposite of GM foods are "Organic" crops.
Which action would be most likely scientific research on genetic modification of food?
Scientists providing evidence that genetically modified foods
What are genetically modified GM organisms and GM foods?
Genetically modified(GM)organisms are those organisms whose DNA, or genetic material has been altered through modern biotechnology whereas GM foods are those from genetically engineered crops.
In which books can one complete research on genetically modified organisms?
The Poison Planters,by Charles Sutherland,offers information on actual genetic incidents.Testing of Genetically Modified Organisms In Foods by Farid E. Ahmed is available on Albris.
During the pas decade have the US been eating many genetic modified foods?
Probably. Because genetically modified foods (GMO) are not required to be labeled as such, it is difficult to know for certain. But it is very likely that food staples produced by huge corporations such as Monsanto or Cargil are genetically modified. I suspect most of the corn, soybeans and wheat produced in the U.S. are GMO.
Are organic foods geneticly modified?
Organically grown foods are not (trans)genetically modified, meaning they are not what is considered GMOs.
What is a example of a genetically modified food and how is it created?
Genetically modified foods are actually quite common today. They are created by farmers using selective cross breeding and by scientists manipulating the food's genetic code. Common examples of this type of food are seedless fruits.
What are ten genetically modified foods?
Genetically modified foods as of January 1, 2015 are:tomatoespotatoesfield cornsoy beanssweet cornwheatricepapayacanolacrookneck squash
How many genetically modified foods have been approves since 1994 by the FDA?
i believe that there have been at least 200 modified foods
What caused genetically modified foods to happen?
Genetically modified foods happened because man discovered that a gene could be removed from one species and forced into the cells of another species to bring about a desired trait in the host, or that a gene could be removed from an organism, modified in some way, and inserted back into the same organism. In the most common genetically modified foods today (2015), the desired trait is either resistance to a herbicide or to produce an insecticide in the plant itself, although there are some other, less common traits produced through genetic modification.
What is genetic method involved for improvement of food crops?
This method is called genetic modified organisms. (GMOs).
