kwashiorkor, sterility, blindness, anemia and abnormal child birth. In order to full-fill the basic needs; many scientists have made attempts to improve the nutritional value of food crops through genetical modification. Two Scientist, Watson and Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA which is the basis for biological revolution. Other Scientist made the transgenic modification in plants and animals food possible.
