Plants that have had their genetic makeup altered to exhibit traits that are not naturally theirs. In general, genes are taken (copied) from one organism that shows a desired trait and transferred into the genetic code of another organism.

Genetically modified seeds are designed to make the plant more resistant to rain, drought, pests, diseases, etc.

Genetically modified seeds, have a bacterial toxin (Bt) growing inside Some of the side effects associated with ingesting Bt toxins are: severe food alergies, infertility, and cancer.
