Question

Explain how genetic engineering can be used to improve crop production.

Answer 1

Crops are genetically modified to allow higher yields due to the production of molecules that are toxic to insect pests, but have no effect on animals and humans. ... Crops that are resistant to herbicides can also provide higher yield as the farmer can reduce the number of competing weed species in the field.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Genetic engineering can be used to improve crop production by reducing the effects of natural conditions such as pests and weather. Specifically, crops can be genetically engineered to improve their resistance to insects, disease, and drought and increase their tolerance to herbicides.
