Answer 1

A. These two terms mean the same thing and describe plants that are created by additions or deletions to DNA

Answer 2

Answer: A. These two terms mean the same thing and describe plants that are created by additions or deletions to DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

The genetic engineering is a technical process that involves the manipulation of the genetic make up of the organism. In this process new genes are added to the organism's genome or some genes are removed. The genetic engineering is done to induce desire characteristics in the organisms.

The bioengineered crops or genetically modified crops are the terms used to define the crops that are produced by the process of genetic engineering. The entire gene or DNA of other plant and animal are inserted in the genome of the plants yielding genetically modified crops or some genes or DNA is removed or deleted from the genome of the plant. These genetically modified crops exhibit qualities like improved yields, longer shelf life, resistance to natural calamities like frost, and drought and enhanced nutritional value.
