Q4. What is genetic manipulation? How is it useful in agricultural practices?

Genetic manipulation is process in which the transfer of genes takes place from one organism to another. Here gene of a particular character is introduced inside the chromosome cell and hence results in a transgenic plant.Example: BT Cotton is a genetically modified crop which carry bacterial genes, that protects this plant from insects.

Genetic manipulation is useful in providing better yielding varieties, disease and pest resistance plants.
