Biotechnology: Biotechnology is the use of living organisms or their components to create useful products or processes. It includes genetic engineering techniques used to modify crops.
Transgenic: Transgenic refers to an organism that contains genes from another species incorporated into its genome through genetic engineering.
Pesticide Resistance: Pesticide resistance occurs when a pest population evolves and becomes no longer affected by a pesticide designed to control it. Genetically modified crops can be engineered with built-in resistance against specific pests, reducing the need for excessive pesticide use.
