In 3–5 sentences, explain how genetic modification helps provide food for a growing population.(4 points)

Genetic modification helps provide food for a growing population by enhancing crop yield, making plants resistant to diseases and pests, and increasing their tolerance to environmental stresses. Through genetic engineering techniques, scientists can introduce desirable genes into crops, allowing them to produce larger harvests and withstand harsh conditions. This enables farmers to produce more food on the same amount of land, meeting the increasing demand for food as the world population continues to grow.
