True is correct! =)

|| ✪ Step-by-step explanation ✪ ||

There are no known effects and scientific evidence that proves GMOs are harmful to humans. GMOs have edited genes that help them to be resistant against a myriad of diseases, environmental conditions, and change "ugly" traits (ie. shortness, too skinny fruit, etc). The process of editing genes is like the recombination of DNA by human intervention. You edit out what's ugly and reinforce what is needed without changing the physical make-up of the organism.

Example

Corn is very known to have a GMO. It also has different varieties that are products of selective breeding, a type of narrowing down the best traits from two pure-bred individuals.

Hope this helps!
