Question 10 options:

improve resistance to pests, reduce the need for pesticides, and increase survival rates in adverse growing conditions.

reduce the need for other genes to be introduced into a plant genome.

allow genetically engineered seeds to be prepared within two months.

allow genetically engineered seeds to double in size within one year.

Answer 1

Thr answer is A.) to improve resistance to pests, reduce the need for pesticides, and increase survival rates in adverse growing conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

I could not find it word for word in my textbook but I took the quiz and it was correct 5/5 points! =)

Answer 2

improve resistance to pests, reduce the need for pesticides, and increase survival rates in adverse growing conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to improve the quality of crops used to produce food, scientists can introduce new traits into plants. This is done by plant biotechnology, and manipulating plant genomes using advanced molecular techniques.

Examples of desirable traits needed for crops include the ability to tolerate a wider range of environments, improved resistance to pests, higher yields, better taste profiles, and larger fruit.
