Name 3 foods that are likely to be genetically modified in the U.S.
What will be an ideal response?
Today, genetic engineering is used primarily to confer herbicide tolerance and/or insect resistance to soy, corn, cotton, sugar beets, canola, and alfalfa. Papaya and some varieties of squash are genetically engineered to be resistant to plant viruses. More recently, scientists have developed nonbrowning apples by silencing the genes that produce the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (commonly known as PPO), which causes cut apples to turn brown. Nonbruising potatoes also have been developed.
