The genetic engineering of crops is a controversial and debated issue in the media and press. Which of the following would be an argument in favor of the genetic engineering of corn?(1 point) Responses
improved nutritional content improved nutritional content increased crop yields increased crop yields reduction of pesticide use reduction of pesticide use all of these
Options Improved nutritional content and increased crop yields are both potential benefits of genetic engineering of corn. Reducing pesticide use is also a potential benefit, as genetically engineered crops can be engineered to be more resistant to pests, reducing the need for chemical pesticides. Therefore, all of these could be arguments in favor of genetic engineering of corn.
