Biotechnology and its Applications
Solution:
Genetic modification has :
(i) Made crops more tolerant to abiotic stresses (cold, drought, salt, heat).
(ii) Reduced reliance on chemical pesticides (pest-resistant crops).
(iii) Helped to reduce post harvest losses.
(iv) Increased efficiency of mineral usage by plants (this revents early exhaustion of fertility of soil).
(v) Enhanced nutritional value of food, e.g., golden rice, i.e., vitamin $'A'$ enriched rice.
