Question pretext
For hybrid, first generation seeds only
Question post text
Indicate code. If 2-Ordinary hybride, go to column 33.
Interviewer instructions
Determine whether the seeds planted were genetically modified or ordinary hybrid and encircle the appropriate code. If ordinary hybrid, column 32.(trait of the genetically modified corn planted).
Description
Text
The method of breeding hybrid corn seed. Corn breeding could be by conventional method or through more advanced means such as by genetic engineering. Crops developed by genetic engineering are commonly called transgenic or genetically modified (GM) crop.
Transgenic/Genetically Modified (GM) - a transgenic or genetically modified (GM) crop is a plant that has novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern technology. For example, a transgenic crop can contain gene/s that has been artificially inserted instead of the plant acquiring it through pollination. The resulting plant is said to be “genetically modified” from the original wild state by domestication, selection, and controlled breeding over long periods of time.
Transgenic crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a “gene gun”. The DNA to be introduced into the plant cells is coated onto tiny particles. These particles are then physically shot onto plant cells. Some of the DNA comes off and is incorporated into the DNA of the recipient plant. The second method uses a bacterium to introduce the gene/s of interest into the plant.
Ordinary Hybrid - refers to the usual or common type corn seed breeding.
