Question

Plants are expected to be genetically engineered to have

• A. a requirement for more fertilizer
• B. an increased water requirement
• C. the ability to produce all the essential amino acids
• D. increased susceptibility to herbicides

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

the ability to produce all the essential amino acids

Plants are genetically engineered usually for the appearance of a trait that isn't naturally seen in them. They can be genetically engineered to make them stronger, resistant against pests, less dependant on the use of fertilizer and water, decrease susceptibility to herbicides and for production of all essential amino acids.

So, the correct option is 'the ability to produce all the essential amino acids'.
