Question

crop plants that have dna (genes) from a different organism, usually a bacterium or virus, are called:
genetically modified
genetically mutated
genetically transformed
genetically hybridized

Explanation:

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are organisms whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. This often involves inserting DNA from a different organism (such as a bacterium or virus) into the target organism (like a crop plant). Genetic mutation refers to a natural or induced change in an organism's own genes. Genetic transformation is a broader term that can include various ways of introducing new genetic material, but "genetically modified" is the specific and commonly used term for this process in the context of crop plants with foreign DNA. Genetic hybridization involves crossing two different varieties or species within the same or related groups, not inserting DNA from a completely different type of organism like a bacterium or virus.

Answer:

Genetically modified
