Question

what benefit does using the crispr technique have in creating gmos? (1 point) it eliminates all risk of mutation. precise traits can be chosen to produce viable organisms more quickly. crispr can result in infertile hybrids. diversity within species can continue to increase through crossbreeding.

Explanation:

CRISPR is a gene - editing tool. It allows scientists to target and modify specific genes. This precision means that desired traits (such as disease resistance in crops) can be selected and incorporated into organisms more efficiently compared to traditional breeding methods.

Option A is incorrect because no technique can eliminate all risk of mutation. Option C is not a benefit as infertile hybrids are generally not a goal in creating GMOs (unless in very specific cases like sterile pest control organisms, but this is not the general benefit). Option D is about cross - breeding which is a traditional method, while CRISPR is about direct gene - editing for more precise and potentially faster trait introduction.

Answer:

B. Precise traits can be chosen to produce viable organisms more quickly.
