foods made from genetically modified crops? (b) (a) They improve farm profitability and make some farmers’ jobs easier. (b) They allow farmers to greatly increase the amount of crops produced. (c) They improve convenience for consumers‚ e.g. by creating foods with longer shelf lives. (d) They improve the nutritional quality of foods. 19. Most foods derived from genetically modified crops contain: (a) The same number of genes as food produced from conventional crops. (b) The same number of genes as foods
