Question
Transgenic (GMO) Tomatoes
The use of pesticides to control insects costs billions of dollars
every year. Genetically modified organisms (GMOS) are an
attempt to reduce this cost. Tomato plants that are genetically
modified can make proteins that are poisonous to the insects that
feed on them. Using these GMO tomatoes would reduce the
need for the chemical control of insects.
1. State one possible advantage of having tomato plants that make proteins that are
poisonous to insects.
2. In biology, a trade-off exists when one trait cannot increase without a decrease in another.
What trade-offs exist in the creation of transgenic tomatoes?
3.
Question
Answer
28. Some farmers currently grow genetically
engineered crops. An argument against the use of this
technology is that
1) it increases crop production
2) it produces insect-resistant plants
3) its long-term effocts on humans are still being
investigated
4) it always results in crops that do not taste good
