1. A 'GM' crop is a genetically modified crop that has altered genes through genetic engineering techniques.

GM foods can promise health benefits

Could defy laws of Nature

4. *could not answer due to technical issues"

5. Two genetically modified foods commonly found on a dinner table:

a) (pizza) They are modifying rennet, useful for a multitude of things.

b) (coffee) Scientists are altering the caffeine content in coffee. People could potentially harvest decaffeinated coffee beans.
