1. A genetically modified (GM) or transgenic crop is a plant that has a combination of genetic material of two or more than two organisms, and it is obtained by the use of modern biotechnology.
2. Example: a genetically modified crop can contain a gene or genes of other organisms that has been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring it through pollination.
3. Genetic technology has the potential to reduce the cost of many foods and it can improve their quality as well as quantity.
The engulfed object is thus enclosed within a membrane-bound vacuole called a phagosome. The phagocyte digests the ingested particle with hydrolytic enzymes, which are contained within membrane-enclosed sacs called lysosomes found within the cell.
