*Transgenic potatoes: in this case, the starch enzymes are invalidated when an antagonistic copy of the gene that cancels it is introduced.

there are many more examples.

Among the types of transgenic foods we find three groups which are:

*Substances used in animal treatments with the aim of improving production.

*Substances used in the food industry, obtained from microorganisms by recombinant DNA techniques.

*Transgenic animals that secrete a human protein in their milk or that have a lower lactose content.

These foods have great advantages and help the human being.
