There are only a few types of transgenic, or “genetically modified,” plants that have been approved for commercial production in the United States. The table below shows those different plants and what genetic traits in the plants have been added or changed by scientists. These plants have one or more of the following traits modified by genetic engineering.
These are just a few of the many colors and patterns that animals use to send signals. In some cases colors are used to find the perfect mate. Animals also use colors as warning signals and as camouflage to hide from predators. There are also many cases where scientists do not know exactly how some animals are using their cool colors and patterns.
