Explain Biomodified foods.

Explanation

Biomodified foods are also called Geneticaly Modified Food. The food prepared from the genetically modified crops (GMCs) is called genetically modified food (GM food). It contains proteins produced by transgene (foreign gene). It also contains the enzyme produced by antibiotic resistance gene. It is an accepted fact now that the biological diversity with different kinds of plants and animals ensures food supply and maintenance of ecological balance in nature. The difference in the type of cultivated plants and domestic animals throughout the world has been determined by difference in natural habitats. It is attributed to their germplasm also. Biological diversity is threatened by encroachment on natural ecosystems by the activities of ever growing human population.
