Question

Indicate whether the following statements about the use of genetically modified organisms (GMO's) in agriculture is TRUE or FALSE

Group of answer choices
GMO's can lead to the reduction of chemical pesticides if used properly
 
           [ Choose ]             FALSE             TRUE         
 
GMO's lowers the cost of crop production making it easier for the small-farmer to compete with large corporate farms
 
           [ Choose ]             FALSE             TRUE         
 
GMO's could significantly increase global biodiversity by creating new species
 
           [ Choose ]             FALSE             TRUE         
 
High use of GMO's could lead to pesticide-resistant weeds and insects
 
           [ Choose ]             FALSE             TRUE         
 
Using GMO's provides benefits by creating crops resistant to disease and pests
 
           [ Choose ]             FALSE             TRUE         
 
GMO's have been extensively studied for many decades, so that their long-term effects are now well-understood.
Expert Solution
Introduction

Genetically modified organisms are those which involve the modification of genetic material through genetic engineering to provide new varieties. These are produced to increase crop yield and resist pests, pesticides and fertilizer.
