Which Situation May Result from Genetically Modifying Foods

Question

Which situation may result from genetically modifying foods?
A) rice that allows greater synthesis of vitamin A
B) calorie-free potato chips
C) a tomato that tastes like a melon
D) lettuce that doesn't require water to grow

Accepted Answer

Genetically modifying foods has the potential to result in crops with desired traits such as increased resistance to pests and diseases, longer shelf life, and higher nutritional value. In the case of rice, scientists have engineered a variety that is able to produce more vitamin A, which can help prevent blindness in areas where vitamin A deficiency is common.
