Students have asked these similar questions
A majority of genetically engineered crops in production worldwide today have been engineered with a gene that:
A) codes for a protein that improves the nutrient value of the food
B) codes for a protein which makes the crop resistant to the herbicide Roundup
C) codes for a protein that allows the plant to thrive in a high-salt environment
D) codes for a protein that suppresses the production of allergens in the food
A nine-year research and experimentations have successfully developed rice plants with golden hue kernels instead of the usual white kernels. What is the advantage of this modified rice plant?
Select one:
To make the plant become resistant to herbivores.
To provide sufficient rice produce due to its shorter cycle.
To add nutritional value to the rice kernels.
To allow easy harvesting and processing.
Some genetically modified plant varieties incorporate a “self-destruct gene”, which causes anyseed produced by the plants to be unable to germinate.a) What are some ecological advantages to these “self-destruct genes”? Explain youranswer.b) Identify another reason why the enterprises that developed these varieties might haveincorporated such genes

- What are the current trends and innovation in crop production technologies related to this rice crop?arrow_forwardCertain genetically modified tomatoes were designed to suppress (reduce the effectiveness) the enzyme polygalactias which delays ripening. How does this gene modification affect the consumer and the diet of individuals in developing countries? options: Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes have a longer shelf life. The tomatoes survive delivery to the consumer and provide nutritional value to more people. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes can stay on the vine longer to receive nutrients. Once picked, these tomatoes will ripen rapidly to provide a full taste to the consumer. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes are more likely to freeze on the vine before becoming ripe. This freezing process locks in the minerals and beneficial nutrients so that the tomato can be transported without losing its nutritional benefit. Delaying the ripening process means that the tomatoes are more likely to have a shorter shelf…arrow_forwardMiracle RiceRice is staple food in Asia. In the 1950s, Asia faced food shortage and an impending famine. If you have relatives that lived in Asia during the ’50s and ’60s, they may tell you that due to the rice shortage, many starved and those who were lucky had to supplement their diet with other crops, such as barley. In 1962, an organization focused on research and development of rice called International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) developed a high-yielding variety of rice by crossing the two types of rice from Indonesia and China. The result was ground breaking. The new variety called IR8 (India Rice 8) increased its yield as much as 10 times the traditional variety of rice. By the early 1970s, many rice farmers in India, the Philippines, and Vietnam switched to cultivating IR8 rice, making these countries into major rice exporters, preventing a mass famine in Asia, and saving millions of lives. 1) Is the IR8 rice variety considered a genetically modified organism (GMO)?

They went on performing a simple experiment. The group selected two San Francisco plants of similar size planted on the sanme type of soil and kind of pots. Both plants were healthy. Each plant were placed in separate rooms with a window exposed to full sunlight and were watered with equal amounts every day. They measured the height of the plants. Once a day, they played classical music on room 1 for about one hour while leaving room 2 with no music played. Over a period of two weeks, they noted significant differences in each plant's growth. Multiple Choice: Write the letter of your answer before the number. What was the problem in the Grade 7-Rizal's experiment? Which San Francisco plant is taller?
