Biotechnology Tools

Scientists implant a gene into a species of tomato plant that makes them ripen faster and stay firm as they are transported to stores. What is the benefit of this technology?

• Increased toxins in the food.

• Increase shelf life and availablity.

• Decreased size of tomatoes.

• Increased seed production

Rice does not provide enough of certain vitamins. How could biotechnology be used to change this?

• Using a high nitrogen fertilzer.

• Using herbicide to get rid of weeds.

• Genetic modification of rice plants that are pest resistant and to produce vitamins they cannot make without biotechnology

• Using pesticide to get rid of pests that can harm the crop.
