2 A genetically modified organism is one whose genes have been altered. Genes from one species are inserted into a second specie

s. The goal of this process is to introduce a desired trait or characteristic into the second species. For example, corn is vulnerable to certain kinds of worms that eat and destroy the corn stalks. Genes can be taken from some bacteria and inserted into the corn. These genes from the bacteria enable the corn to produce proteins that kill the worms. This genetically modified corn is now resistant to these pests. Other plants, such as tomatoes, have been genetically altered in a similar fashion, to remain fresher longer.

Answer:

a.

an informal definition

Explanation:

The definition used about corns is an informal one because the author did not make use of any kind of statistic to show that corns are vulnerable to certain kinds of worms and also did not mention the names of worms the corn is vulnerable to.

When something is said to be informal, it means it is not yet official.
