Question

Some salmon have been genetically modified to grow bigger and faster than wild salmon. They are grown in fish-farming facilities. These genetically modified fish should not be introduced into a natural habitat because

A)
the salmon would recycle nutrients at a rapid rate

B)
their rapid growth rate could cause them to outcompete native salmon

C)
they would not have enough oxygen for survival

D)
they would reproduce asexually once they were released

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Their growth rate would cause them to grow much larger than the native salmon meaning they require more habitat space and sustenance to live. This would drive out the native salmon as they wrestle for food and space.
