Answer:

The genetically engineered potatoes are more expensive than the potatoes that do not contain vaccine.

Step-by-step explanation:

The edible vaccines are presented into the plants of potato with the help of genetic engineering. The vaccines are the chemical formulations that comprise either the agent that can fight against the already present disease or the bacterial genome with the desired gene. This whole procedure is quiet costly as a result of this the quality as well as the price of these edible vaccines potatoes will be more in comparison to the potatoes produced conventionally.
