Question

Which of the following is a disadvantage of genetically modified plants?

• A. Absence of flowers
• B. Sterility of seeds
• C. Inability to produce seeds
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Sterility of seeds

The terminator technology produces genetically modified plants that have sterile seeds, which do not flower or grow fruit after the initial planting. GMO seeds have been called suicide seeds or terminator seeds because they have an approximate termination date so that farmers have to keep purchasing new seed from the companies that make them.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
