Humans have been changing the genetic features of plants for thousands of years by keeping seeds from the best crops and planting them the following years, and by breeding varied kinds to make them taste sweeter, grow bigger, or last l
24、onger.Traditional breeders always used plants or animals that were related, or genetically similar. However, todays genetic engineers can transfer just a few genes at a time between species that are distantly related, or not related at all.
