Some of the Strongest Opposition to the Application of Recombinant

Question

Some of the strongest opposition to the application of recombinant DNA technology concerns
A) DNA fingerprinting.
B) modification of food crops.
C) correcting gene defects in animals.
D) sequencing of the human genome.
E) pest control measures.

Accepted Answer

There is strong opposition to the modification of food crops using recombinant DNA technology due to concerns about potential health risks, environmental impact, and ethical considerations. Other applications, such as DNA fingerprinting or correcting gene defects in animals, are generally viewed more favorably by the public. The sequencing of the human genome and pest control measures also have some opposition, but not to the same extent as modification of food crops.
