Question

The most common trait that was improved in commercialized crops was

• A. Insect resistance
• B. Drought resistance
• C. Nutritional quality
• D. Productivity

Answer 1

The correct option is A Insect resistance

Insects were the major problem for farmers because large number of crops were moslty damaged by the insects. But genetic engineering helps a lot in this field. With the advent of genetic engineering, genes for insect resistance now can be moved into plants more quickly and deliberately. Bt technology is only one example of ways genetic engineering that may be used to develop insect resistant crops now and in the future.
