For instance if a plant isto be genetically modified to get a desirable trait then another plant with the desirable trait wouldbe selected and bred so that one can get the desirable trait in that plant (Chrispeels, 2014).Robert Fraley and Alison Eenennaam are in support Genetically modified crops they talk aboutthe benefits of genetically modified crops. The points discussed by Robert Fraley areReduction in the use of pesticides Increase in yield Reduction of Soil erosionAlison Eenennam pointsIt enhances tastes of foodCrops become strongerGM crops are good for health (Chrispeels, 2014).
