Question
Which one of these is NOT an advantage of genetically modified food?
- Resistance to any diseases
- Better quality
- Brighter colored crops
- Increases nutrition
Hint:
Genetically modified foods are nutritious, resistant to diseases, better quality, and tastier. The color does not determine the quality of a crop. So brighter colors may not be an advantage in all the crops.
The correct answer is: Brighter colored crops
The following are potential advantages of genetic engineering:
- higher-quality food
- better food
- plants that can withstand disease and drought and use fewer resources from the environment (such as water and fertilizer)
- Using fewer insecticides
- increased food supply with lower prices and a longer shelf life
- faster-growing animals and vegetation
- Food with better qualities, such as potatoes that fry with less of a chemical that causes cancer
- foods used in medicine that could be utilized as vaccinations or other treatments
