Question

Which of the following correctly summarizes the main issue with most genetically engineered food crops?

A. Resulting crops are less nutritious.

B. Creating a market for the resulting crops has proven difficult.

C. Increasing one quality in a food crop may degrade other qualities.

D. Resulting crops are too expensive because of the engineering.

Answer 1

The issue with genetically engineered food crops is C: INCREASING ONE QUALITY IN A FOOD CROP MAY DEGRADE OTHER QUALITIES

Answer 2

Answer: B). Increasing one quality in a food crop may degrade other qualities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetically engineered food crops are those crops whose DNA is manipulated so as to produce desire effect in them. The manipulations are done so as to induce characteristics such as drought and pest resistance, increase in yield and quality of the food products.

Except the above mentioned improvement, some issues are also associated with the genetically engineered food crops. The one is improving one quality, will degrade the other. As, the induced genes may suppress the effect of other expressive genes in the organism.
