Question

question 24
gm technology has created a salt tolerant crop for which of the following foods?
a. cotton
b. rice
c. papaya
d. glofish

Explanation:

GM (Genetically Modified) technology has been used to create salt - tolerant rice. Rice is an important food crop, and developing salt - tolerant varieties can help in areas with high soil salinity. Cotton is a fiber crop (not a food in the traditional sense of direct human consumption as a staple food). Papaya has been genetically modified for other traits like virus resistance (e.g., Papaya ringspot virus), not specifically for salt tolerance as a major GM trait. Glofish are genetically modified ornamental fish, not a food crop.

Answer:

B. Rice
