Answer: Genetic Engineering
Step-by-step explanation:
Genetic engineering or also called genetic modification is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome in order to bring about a desirable trait in such organism. In genetic engineering procedure, the organism manipulated is called TRANSGENIC or GENETICALLY MODIFIED (GM) organisms.
In this case, a researcher is said to change the DNA (genetic material) in a soybean plant so that it produces offspring with a resistance to weed killer. This describes a genetic engineering procedure in which the soybean plant is manipulated to yield a desired trait, which is resistance to weed killer.
