Question

the chart shows the advantages and the disadvantages of using dna technology.
advantages\tdisadvantages
allergies\tunknown effects
phytoremediation\treduced effectiveness of pesticides
cold tolerance\tunintended harm
pharmaceuticals\t
which entry is in the wrong position in the table?
○ cold tolerance
○ allergies
○ unknown effects
○ phytoremediation

Explanation:

To determine the wrong entry, we analyze each option:

• Cold tolerance: A benefit of DNA tech (e.g., genetically modified organisms resisting cold), belongs in Advantages.
• Allergies: Usually a negative outcome (disadvantage) of DNA tech (e.g., allergic reactions to GMOs), but it's in Advantages.
• Unknown effects: A disadvantage (uncertainty from DNA tech), correctly in Disadvantages.
• Phytoremediation: A benefit (using plants to remediate), correctly in Advantages.

So "allergies" is misplaced as it's a disadvantage, not an advantage.

Answer:

allergies
