Question

which uses of biotechnology show the most promise for solving medical problems with genetic engineering? (select the three correct answers.) (1 point) developing new vaccines much more quickly. using crispr to remove genetic diseases. creating bacteria that produce human insulin. making corn plants resistant to harmful insects. stopping apples from turning brown when cut.

Explanation:

• Developing new vaccines much more quickly: Genetic engineering can be used to rapidly produce antigens for vaccines, speeding up the vaccine development process.
• Using CRISPR to remove genetic diseases: CRISPR - Cas9 is a powerful gene - editing tool. It has the potential to correct disease - causing mutations in genes, which can be used to treat or even cure genetic diseases.
• Creating bacteria that produce human insulin: This is a classic example of using genetic engineering in medicine. Bacteria are genetically modified to produce human insulin, which is used to treat diabetes.

• Making corn plants resistant to harmful insects: This is an application of genetic engineering in agriculture (plant biotechnology) to improve crop protection, not directly related to medical problems.
• Stopping apples from turning brown when cut: This is related to plant biotechnology (modifying plant enzymes to prevent browning) and is not a medical application.

Answer:

Developing new vaccines much more quickly, Using CRISPR to remove genetic diseases, Creating bacteria that produce human insulin.
